Default DM 55 gasser - DLE 55 Clone??

Howdy - I have both a DM 30 and DM 55, which both appear externally to be exact (or very nearly so) matches to their DLE parents. Assuming they are some of the multitudes of alphabet soup clones of anything that seems to work and sell....
Anyway - my question is about parts interchange - my 55 hub and prop washer seems to "not" be a perfect match for my PSP mfg DA-50 drill guide....which is marketed and hawked by users as being "usable for DLE 55".... anyone know if that is in fact, true?

In years past, the debates raged for a long time about whether the original DLE was a clone/copy of the DA 50....and I'm old enough to remember that there wasn't a public "proof" of that claim substantiated.

Knowing that there have been lots of iterations of change....anyone know if DLE parts would work on the DM 55 clone of a copy of a copy of the DA, supposedly???
The engine runs well, has plenty of poop, and seems well done for a Hobby-King marketed cheapie....
