What parts will be interchangeable between the original and OLED?

I have a few mods on my original steamdeck (transparent backplate, new buttons), wondering if these will fit onto the steam deck OLED, thanks!

Since the shell of the OLED model is the same size as the LCD one, the backplate should fit, and so should other external accessories. The buttons, too, since they're, well, the same dimensions. As for the main components like the Screen and Battery, the new OLED display won't work on the LCD variant since it now uses a different connector, not to mention different voltages. The battery, too, is thicker and won't accommodate the LCD variant because the LCD panel is thicker.

I was going to add onto this if anyone knew in particular but is the D-Pad and membrane also compatible? I ask because you can buy a specified OLED version on the main US site. But in the UK it just seems to be the LCD version. But the valve part number is the same so I assume they're identical?
