No they're different. The 19 shock is better then the older one as well.

I'm not sure about the Ohlins. It would have to be shortened and if the reservoir clears. I have the older showa a kit internals in my oem body.

I’ve done the same as db97 however I’m running the comp adjuster from the works shock as well.

I don’t know about an ohlins you’d really have to try and fit it. The 18 and older showa a kit shock will JUST about fit in the 19+, with a smidge of clearance made to the mount in a not stressed area it would fit. PC originally did this way. Now they’ve just been dumping kit internals into production bodies as the only real tuning variable you’re losing is the restrictor.
As mentioned, 19 smidge shorter, would need to be shortened.
