This might be of interest. OLPC has for a long time maintained sizable git
repos to support OOB.
For an unrelated project, I have just tested that the same thing can be
achieved with github.
For example, this repo:

As Sam says xo-1 screens will work on xo-4 touch units. Disassembly and
reassembly of xo4 touch around the screen is delicate, careful with the
touchscreen data cable.
Over time we made small changes to the LCD screen but they don't make a big
difference. They all fit all production units.
