You would mean "pre serial number 100,000 serial number if you have a brass key. After 100,000 if you have plastic guides. The pistons will interchange as long as you use the matching vintage stem and guide.

The casing tops and bottom caps will NOT interchange.

Bump w/ edit.
I would settle for 3 matching valve buttons that would fit these valves. I like the mother of pearl ones if anyone has any that would fit. Not sure if they have to be specific to this model horn.
