Question Hardtop Compatibilty

After picking up a 2003 Cab a few weeks ago I spontaneously purchased a hardtop on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/193325732934

I subsequently learned that there are 2 different types of mounting hardware and I'm trying to figure out of my car is compatible with it.

Even thought the VIN shows hardtop delete, it has the mounting hardware installed and it seems to be the non-thread type

hardtop receiver

Can anyone tell from the ebay pics if the hardtop has the correct hardware to mount, or will I need to purchase the retrofit kit retrofit, p/n 000.043.300.46?

I emailed the seller asking for better pics but they are closed for the time being.

Thanks!

You have the bayonet type mount. It's difficult to see which type the top has in the photos. Can you ask the seller which model year the top is from? The mounting hardware is available and can be swapped, but it's not cheap.

It looks to be the latter screw type
