It's been very long since I played with an
11/40, but the
11/40 and 11/45 have way fewer switches than the 11/70, and the frame lines
up with the switches on the 11/70.
Can't remember for sure the exact details of the 11/40 I played with, but it
must have had some kind of filler on the panel, to get to the edges.
Yes, the '40 has a few more "fake" switches (the white caps) between
the coloured ones. I've not counted, but I suspect the total number of
switches (fake or otherwise) is the same.
But anyway: isn't there something simple like a part number that can
be checked to see it the frames really are the same?
While I am not sure about the RDM vs standard 11/70 front panels, the
cast frame is identical between 40, 45, and 70. I have examples of all
three and have verified this.
