HK SL8 and G36 piston and op rod questions...

Looking at sourcing a lighter and possibly shorter SL8/G36 barrel assembly. Three questions for the communal CGN brain:

1/ are the full-length G36E piston and op rod the same as the SL8 ones, and interchangeable? (Internet seems to indicate that they are)

2/ does the 15.4" G36 CQB barrel assembly take the full-length/full size G36E piston/oprod combo, or the shorter G36K piston/oprod combo? If I buy one of these barrel assemblies I'd like to know whether an SL8 piston system works with it, or if I'll need to source something else.

3/ Are the G36K piston/oprod in fact different/shorter than the full-length G36E ones? (Internet indicates they are different , but want to confirm) I know the G36C have a shorter setup, but I'm not 100% sure about the K

Thanks all!

Im not sure but calgery shooting center was offering interesting custom work on the SL8. The gas piston system is short enough to chop some barrel and leave it stock. They offered turning the barrel down too
