Celestron Losmandy style dovetail inquiry

Some time ago I bought a C9.25 equipped with the Celestron orange "D" Losmandy style dovetail and had to make a conversion to a Vixen style dovetail to fit my CG-5GT mount. Eventually, I may sell the Losmandy style dovetail. It measures 17.25" in length to accommodate the long body of the 9.25 scope. Does anybody know if this dovetail also fits the C11 bodies? I would like to advertise it as such but first need to know if it's true. Thanks

You'll have to look here:

Actually your real problem is being clear in the ad which generation of 9.25 it fits. The hole separation (HS) on the old ones is greater (17.25") than it is on the new ones (16.5). It looks like the D9.25N can be swapped with the D11, but the older D9.25 would only be good on older 9.25s.

Someone with a drill press could drill his own holes, so there is that.
