Alfred,

All 20s except for the Magnums are "Light Twenty"s, even though they may be marked just Twenty. The Light was added later. Look at the barrels and there are holes in the barrel ring, no matter whether it says Light Twenty or just Twenty. My 1963 just says Twenty. I don't know the year when the designation changed.

12s and 16s have Standard, and Light and Sweet.

The only issue you may run into is, the forearm barrel channel may need to be relieved to accommodate a slightly different barrel profile.

In the 16ga the 2 9/16 " ( prewar ) will not interchange with 2 3/4 " or vice versa . 16ga's were either Standard or Sweet no designation for Light .

Really early 12ga do not interchange .

What differentiates a standard Belgian-made 16 and a Belgian made Sweet Sixteen?
