Yes, the same or very similar

Yep

Similar, but in the G68 they are not so extended, i.e. while they taper so that they are wider at the bottom but the angle is much steeper.

Thanks, Nick

Yes, the 120mm is from the bottom of the struts. With the 51212T9A there would be some scope for raising it slightly and/or cutting into the struts. It would be a tight fit and avoiding the connectors on the front boards may be the biggest problem. Adequate cooling may also be a problem.
