I don't know if the mirror boxes can be swapped. If not, the SL's mirror
would need to be shortened and probably the light baffle in front of the
viewscreen would need to be trimmed. The bayonet flange would also need
modification, I believe one of the three lug needs to be shortened.
Certainly the mirror box swap would be a cleaner modification.

Yes and no... one of my SL2 bodies has a modified SL screen in it. The
difference between the SL screen and the SL2 screen is the mask for the
aperture and shutter speed readouts in the viewfinder. If your repair
technician can swap the masks a screen from the SL can be used in the SL2,
no problem (and it looks GLORIOUS!). On this side of the pond, Don
Goldberg can swap screens.
