The 34 master insert is narrower overall and shorter. If you need actual dimensions I have one of each grille and insert in my shop and can measure for you, but you can be sure they are not compatible.

After you add the $35 for shipping it is also $400. I haven't ordered a insert from them before but have got many other parts and have been happy with the quality.
