Part interchangibility

Hey guys! I'm putting together an 1894 Spandau Gewehr 88 (not 88/05 - not sure if it matters), and need just a few final parts but was wondering if my Gewehr 98 parts will fit:

1. Recoil lug
2. butt plate/sling swivel screws
3. Cleaning rod nut

Anybody know if they are interchangeable? This is my first Gewehr 88 so I don't have anything to compare to, and I ordered a Fox-military stock so I have to acquire the hardware myself; there's no hardware included with the reproduction stock.

Thanks in advance!
 
I don't have a commission rifle of any kind currently but to my recollection the recoil lug is larger in a gew88. Stock hardware possibly but I'm not totally sure.
