Agree with you though that the front bumpers are the same size - if you look at this car and consider all the work done, then you'd have to wonder why the front bumper was not changed to a TT or TT-S unless either the owner preferred the NB bumper, or because it did not need replacing like the other parts.
Actually, what I previously stated IS correct. The front fenders for a NB and a WB are exactly the same part. Look it up in PET and you'll see.
There is a bottom rocker piece that gets added on the regular NB front fender (Porsche Part NO 993-503-331-00 Fender Joining Plate) to blend into the main rocker panel of a WB below the door.
So, if you want to make your Cab a WB, you'll need a WB rear bumber, the WB fenders, the WB bottom rockers and the fender joining plates to add to your current front fenders.

Ask and you shall receive...you have PM.
The avatar came from someone that posted drawings of 993's and everyone started to "mod" them to their liking. (What else is new right?) Here is the link:

This car is pertty close to me - I'm going to go look at it tomorrow.
The last time I looked @ a Porsche there, it was a 996 TT that was waaaay under value. The story they gave me was that it had been driven over a curb block at speed which shoved the shocks through both front fenders (?) Both fenders and front suspensoin replaced, but original undamaged (?) wheels.
I'll submit my report tomorrow...
