How similar are the Imperial Touchdowns to the Triumph Touchdowns

Am curious as to how similar these two model types are. I know the Triumphs are an earlier model, but wonder how much was changed when they went with the Imperial.

 

Are parts interchangeable - i.e. nibs, pen barrels, etc.. ?

 

Thanks,

The big difference is of course in the nib units, and the cap design with different clip designs, cap bands etc.  But you should be able to change nib units between pens.  Barrels, blind caps and TD tubes are the same.  I've used the TD Imperial barrels to make barrel liners for the TM TD pens.  Possible because the section/barrel threads are the same.

Thank you Ron Z, that is great information. Nice to see some parts can be swapped.
