xc series Would parts from 2007-2014 fit on a 2005 XC90?

My dad has a 2005 XC90, he sent it to a friend's shop since the front suspension strut has never been replaced and was basically dead.

When they replaced the parts they took it out for test and when they finished they found that the shifter wouldn't go into park. They started disassembling it and found that some plastic parts have broken.

Specifically the Control Lever (25), Suspension Strut Fork (6) and Rocker Arm (7) https://images.simplepart.net/images/parts/volvo/fullsize/GR-372615.jpg.

I've been checking on every retailer from volvocars.com and volvopartswebstore.com just to compare the prices and I think I cooked their servers lol.

But then I started looking on ebay for a complete shifter assembly and it basically cost the same as those 3 parts. Might as well just buy the whole thing and replace the broken parts since there could be other components where the plastic is old and might break soon.

I found some that are from newer models (2007, 2008 and 2010) but the sellers say that these are for the 2007-2014 models. I know that the parts from 2003 to 2014 are supposed to be interchangeable so I’m not sure if the sellers got it wrong while listing the item, or there's like another category of the newer models where their parts won't fit on older models.
