Default Primary cover interchange

I have a 08 dyna with a 96 TC. Wondering if a 2006 softail primary will fit the only difference I see if not hole for the shifter but that’s ok as I have forward controls anyway.

Maybe someone else will chime in, but I think the primaries were different from the 5 speed bikes and the 6 speed bikes. I believe both inner and outer primaries changed.
