I believe it will. I don't think the hatches are any different. You will have to drill holes I think. When you meet up just test fit the wing, you will be able to tell pretty quickly.

Yep. It should sit right on the hatch like it was meant to be there. The base will be flush on the hatch and not wobble around. Might be a little, but not something tightening down the bolts won't draw down.
