No.8 and Envoy handguards - are they the same?

[Nigel]

Just picked up two No.8 handguards. Am I right in thinking that they are the same length as the Envoy handguards?
They were the property of a UK Cadet unit that had the rifles scrapped! I know the early L42A1 sniper rifles used modified No.8 handguards - they were shortened and the barrel band groove re-cut but this leaves the finger grooves projecting forward of the band.
