Are thumb studs same on all models?

I am interested in swapping the factory thumbstud on my Tactical Triage (917SBK) for one of these tritium pieces from GlowRhino. However their description mentions it only fits models: 535, 551, 552, 553, 556, 560, 570, 590, 698, 710, 730, 940

Does anyone know if those models interchange with the 917SBK thumb stud or is it different somehow?

OMG those are $24 lol. I get it... tritium...

They're not going to list all MB models it fits on. I would buy those and be very confident they'd fit.
 
As long as it's current production: you should be okay...
But I just picked up some non-current knives; and they look a bit... different!
(Pardue, and 665 APB...)
 
Thanks to all, I ordered and will update when it arrives to let you know how it fits.
 
I got the tritium thumbstud installed and I will say it technically “fits” but due to the thicker blade of the Triage over some of the other models noted as compatible, it only engages a couple of threads. I put some lock-tite on and it feels solid but it really needs to have longer threads to be “right.”

I’ll update w pics when I’m on the laptop.
 
I ordered one of these for my 940. They were listed as in stock. A week after my order was made they emailed me to say they were switching from titanium to stainless and it would be an estimated 4-5 weeks before they could fill the order. Just so you know. That was today so I don’t know how it will play out.
 
Looking pretty darn nice!!
How does your Thumb like the change?

I just ordered gold hardware for my Bugout
But the pocket clip and thumbstud were titanium...

No discernible difference in feel, so works just as well as the factory piece! I am very happy with it.
The glow is actually more subtle than shown in pics. You only notice it in the dark or very low light.
