This suggests that it is the same for all three cars, and the 409 number generally means that is when the part came on stream. In this case, this is confusing, since the 408 Mk-II is expected to have the same part.
I feel (really quite almost completely) sure that 408, 409 and 410 windscreens must be the same. IMHO Bristol were always very conservative when it came to changing body panels. (Of course I won't wager my money on this until it's proven). But I erred above when I said Pilkington Classics list a 410, it`s actually the 411 they list. But, dammit, the 411`s look the same around the centre coachwork too!

....There are several experts in the UK, as mentioned by other replies to this post, and you would be well advised to ring them and just ask.
They seem to keep quiet though. Helps make a living for some of them, and I`m not one to criticise that.
