Front Forks

Howdo!!!
I have a 1994 Superlight that I have be modding for what seems a life time (Its a sickness) I decided to upgrade the front end, got myself a set of showa radial forks n calipers from monster S4/S4R. I dropped them off with Steve at Peak Performance in Exeter back in Sept, due to me being away I only got chance to phone Steve this week. A previous owner has bodged the internals I need to find out what should be inside and if I can source them. The forks themselves are 50mm at the top and 54mm further down and slotted straight into the Superlight yokes (Which is one reason I wanted to stick with them, another is I just got a Ti spindle and a 2nd hand set off BSTs winging its way over from the states).
Are the internals inter-changable between other models? Would a set from another model fit? I think they are 53mm at the top and 53/54/56 at the mid-section. Im going on monday to see the forks and just need to get as much info as possible to see which path to take?????
