Threaded Rings: M24 and M43 Stick Grenades

Was the threaded ring on the bottom of the handle of the M24 the same as the threaded ring on the top of the handle of the M43? Or were the dimensions or threads different?

Thanks.
 
OK. Further googling reveals that they are different and the M43 part is a threaded cap rather than a ring.

I’ve just acquired a dug but solid M43 head that I’d like to make displayable and need something to connect the head to the stick. Are the M43 caps available or are they unobtanium? If the latter, would an M24 threaded ring work as a substitute?

The fuze socket is also missing. Again, are these available or unobtanium?

Thanks for any advice.
