I spent a bit of time examining the two sets of barrels/forends. I can see no difference in the barrel lugs, in terms of size/shape/location. the only difference I can see initially in the forends is the depth the latches are set into the wood. Otherwise, they appear to line up the same. Each forend will fit on the other barrel set while mounted on the receiver, but niether latch will close when mounted on the barrel it was not originally made for. As mentioned above, I suspect a well trained gunsmith could probably resolve the issue
