I'm afraid they're not interchangeable.  From 70, or the MKIII model year
and earlier they are, but with the MKIV the windscreen was deepened by 2
inches making the windscreens, sealing rubber, and finishers unique to the
Spitfire.  No they are not really necessary although they do help to retain
the rubber in its proper shape, and besides, it looks like H**L without them!
