Bit confusing, but assume you wanting the engine cover ie. " its the cover that sits above the engine in the rear boot".
The engine covers will fit between all years and models, but they are different. Some have centre clips to hold the cover up when open, while the squareback has a strap, not important unless you are wanting to be 100% original. You will have to find good second hand from a wrecker.

Not so. Some year models have different sized 'tabs' that slide into the body. No biggy, you can just grind them back to fit, as everything else is the same barring the things mentioned above.
