It will fit but the indicator is in a different position.
Perhaps put a little more work into the thread title next time though

Isn't '99 onwards' also 'greater than 99'?

being pedantic, ''99 onwards' is 'greater than 98'

Technically then,
eBay adverts for D9s should state
>99
As 2000,2001,2002 etc. are all greater than 1999?
The term when used in years usually refers to an arrow rather than a mathematical logic symbol, and as western cultures read left to right, our timelines are usually left to right, therefore 99> refers to the timeline of 406s built after 1999, probably strictly referring to D9s.
I would have said "Mk2" or "facelift" too, in case of confusion with 1999 built D8.5s...
Regards differences, you might have to get the dremel out to get a hole for the repeater. Not sure if the front indicators are subtly different too.
