It may be the same part, just trimmed in the ZX-5n, but I'd suspect the similarities simply come from the design side "take this design, make it flush to the mount". No reason to waste cycles redesigning the part which doesn't need it.

The mirror box is molded plastic. Compare it to the mirror box in a the zx5n it even has the same channels.

I just took a peek at the lens mount/mirror box on my D. The mirror box assembly currently precludes doing this mod without a redesigned mirror box. The current design offers no way for the coupler to pass through, even if cut away, there's not enough clearance by the looks of things. The mount ring itself is compatible though. It looks like the entire right-hand side of the mirror box would need a redesign to allow for the addition of the coupling.

From this, I'd suspect that the only chance of adding this functionality would be in a new camera.
