Default Lexan windshield size early vs late 944/968

Looking at Five Star Racing lexan windshield. They only make for 944. I have a 968.
When I checked Porsche part #s, 94454101112 is windshield for 1987 944 thru 1995 Porsche 968.
So I assume early 944s 1983-86 have a different size front windshield.
I called Five Star and they are checking, but just say their window precut fits all 944s?
I could get oversize windshield and cut to fit but would rather have a precut windshield.
Does anyone know about windshield sizing early vs late 944s and 968s?
thanks
Dave

The early models (82-85/1 and 924S, as well as all the 924 models are smaller than the 85/2 to 95 models. Also, the trim is completely different.

Thanks
Now I just need to know what 944 year models the Five Star lexan window fits.
Do you know what the dimensions or size difference is between early and late 944 windshields?

Thanks, still a bit confusing
I think I need to find someone who used the Five Star 944 lexan window and installed in a later 1987-91 944 or a 968 to make sure the pre-cut to fit lexan window fits
