When looking at the photos of the two different forend loops earlier in the thread, I would think it possible to modify the keyed loop to accept the latch type forend. But That is jsut based on the photo and not taking measurments or having both in front of me. I would think the replacement of the loop to be a bit more than easy to do. Wouldn't the loop be silver soldered and the ribs tin soldered? Making the removal of the loop harder than the ribs?
