The Ford Barn

I'm needing to repair/replace much of the roof on my '34 5 window coupe due to a bad chop and I'm starting with the back window sheet metal area (the opening) and was looking into using a 4 door back window and surrounding sheet metal as a donor for pieces/parts.
I don't have the sedan section available for comparison and it's hard to tell with pictures......so, my question is, are the 5 window coupe and sedan rear window step profile and the curve of the opening the same?

Thanks in advance, Jeff

Lookin' for roof parts!

I used a sedan rear window garnish moulding in my 5w by gently straightening the bottom. The bottom is curved on a sedan and straight on a coupe. The opening width and top curves are the same.
