740 Accessory Panel on my car? 200 1989

While scouring a junkyard for parts last week, I came across this 740Tic:



It's got an accessory plate! Inspired by this eBay auction, remembering that the 740s and 240s had rear ends with similar dimensions, and examining the rear end of Eric Stauffer's 240, I would like to know, will a 740 accessory plate fit a 240?

Sadly, I can tell that there are some minor differences, but will they prevent fitment? It looks like the part that's flush with the taillights is wider on the 740 versions than on the 240 version.

If it does work, that one is all mine! How do I go about extracting it from the rear end without breaking/damaging it? How can I play this part off as something not worth a lot of money? (They're asking $65 for a power antenna, so if I make this part out to be a big deal they'll undoubtedly up the price.) I'll planning on just calling it a license plate holder, so we'll see how that goes.
