The wheelbase is longer but why would the trunk lid be different?


Because the trunk is bigger.

Front end of the car is the same, rear is not usable much for body parts.  
Interior is sort of swappable.  Seats work if you can hook up the vac lines.  
Doors are almost the same.  Door cards work for both.  Rear suspension is not 
the same.

The idea is to have a screw around car that I do not need to learn all manner 
of parts and spec to keep on the road

I just need one to screw around with.  Three would irk the neighbors.   Three 
non running cars would really cook my goose.

The wagon would be good for hauling parts and home repair items

The SLC would allow me to compare the topless v. not topless.  I could also 
rally the SLC.  Having a twin allows me to source parts for both and take up 
half the shelf space on spares.  What I strip from the SLC, can help the SL

You should buy all three and corral them inside an oversized kennel.
