Default TRS vs. Alpha vs. Bravo Trim Rams

Does anyone know the real difference between the different model Rams? I have TRS drives and finding TRS parts is becoming harder and harder, Can the Bravo or Alpha trim rams be modified to fit the TRS's? What are the exact differences? Is it a bore and stroke thing or are the mounting pins a different size? I have a machine shop with a lathe and a milling machine so manufacturing parts like mounting pins or something is no big deal.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have had bravo rams on my boat for 5 or 6 years with no problems. i it has been a while but i think i used the trs bushings, changed a couple of lines and had to take a die grinded to the upper cav plate to clearance for the external trim line.
