AFAIK the only difference is the tab to orient the tail-lock cylinder.
Due to rear sub-frame differences, the cylinder is 90 degrees different for different cable routing to the latch.

Otherwise it's the same piece.

Z, they are quite a bit different. The shock, license plate mount, and other little things like the tag light are different. There is more under seat storage on the 1125 than Firebolt.

Foggy, the underseat storage on a 1125 is a battery. Their is room for a tool kit and insurance cards and that's about it. My Firebolt I could at least put a hat under the seat.

Plastics are the same, with the exception of the keyhole orientation. but that's easily corrected.

I have the XB tail on my 1125 race bike. I had to make some slight mods to the subframe. It only took a benzomatic, vice and pliers : )
