No. The flywheel is totally different, but as you rightly say the clutch componets are the same.

I doubt whether they would be the same. I would expect that the crankshaft bolt spacing could be different and the flywheel diameter. Comparing the workshop manual diagrams, the shape of the flywheels on the crankshaft side is different.
I do not have a 948 flywheel to compare so I cannot give a definate answer.

Here are the 2 side by side (the sidevalve on the left)<br>

Note that the holes on the sidevalve flywheel are not equally spaced
