Default Camaro/Firebird Side Mirror Glass Interchangeable?

Is the glass replacement part for either side view mirror interchangeable between Camaro and Firebird? I can obviously see the mirror housing around the glass is a different shape on camaro/firebird, but is the glass plate insde each unique to each or common? Is there a single p/n for Camaro and Firebird side mirror reaplcement glass? Will the anti-glare mirror plates (blue tint) from 98-99 Firebirds work on any 4th gen Camaro?

Also, is there any difference in part number between the manual mirror glass plate and the power mirror glass plate? Any difference on the backside for attaching the ball/socket screws of a power mirror assembly or the cables on a manual mirror assembly?

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but how do you change just the glass in the mirror housing on a Camaro?

The glass uses a type of clip that side in and lock much lock the other plastic panels the only way i know how is to just pull equally and gently till it comes out the new will take some persuasion but its the same thing push on the center and its gonna take some force but it will go in.
