Fit of XJ Hoods

Quick question to which I strongly suspect that I already know the answer … but I have to be sure ….

Are all XJ hoods interchangeable across the years from '84-2001?
 
I am pretty sure latching changed substantially when they switched over from the V6 to I6 motors. I think that was '87.

The early radiator support is very different from the rest of the pack.

I wouldn't be surprised if even the lengths of the hoods are different.

Someone else can probably give more detail, but I am pretty sure there are at least two versions of the hoods to be dealt with.
 
Ok. Maybe I am not so confident in my expectations. Is there anyone out there who might have swapped a hood from an earlier XJ to a later model? I'm not sure of the exact year of the donor XJ, but I know it's pre- '96. I'm looking to put the hood on my '99.
 
There's actually 3 hoods, 84-86, 87-96, and 97-01.
