AoY question regarding 29c and 31c Temporal ships

I searched and could not find a reference to this question.

Has there been any word if the 31st Century Temporal Starships be able to use the ship costumes of the 29th Century Ships, if you already own the 29th Century version?

Wells/Korath/R'Mor on the Eternal
Mobius/Krenn/Talvath on the Ouroboros
Paradox on the Chronos

The 31st century starships are completely different than the 29th century starships,there won't be any why to use the 29th century ship costumes on the 31st century ships because the 31st century ships are not the same type of ship as the 29th century ships

While they do not match as the exact same type of ships, there is a precedent for making previous ship costumes available on reclassified ship types (e.g. Heavy Escort/Heavy Escort Carrier, Advanced Escort/Multi-Vector Advanced Escort). So by that reasoning, it is not too far out there that the Temporal Science Vessel costume might be able to be used on the Eternal Temporal Multi-Mission Science Vessel or the Paradox Temporal Dreadnought costume on the Chronos Temporal Dreadnought Cruiser. The Temporal Destroyer on the Ouroboros would be a bit of a stretch though.

Not saying you are wrong, but that there is a precedent.

The current temporal ships allow you to change the skin of the ship if you have the appropriate corresponding Temporal ship. So you can put the Aeon skin on the Wells ship. At a minimum, I expect we will get this.

The main difference between the ships you are talking about and the 31st Century ships is that they are similar in shape. So you can pick and choose which sections of the ship you can change. You might be able to do that with the Paradox, Wells, and Mobius with the 31st Century ships, but it is not possible with the Klingon and Romulan versions. It might be possible to replace the entire ship with an older version that doesn't look similar, but there is no precedent for it AFAIK.

All true and I would normally agree, but I was also left wondering since reading a discussion (an argument really) in chat about the differences between the Federation Temporal Destroyer and the KDF Temporal Destroyer. Side A insisted that they were completely different ships and Side B (correctly) stated that they were the same ship with different costumes and that was based on the faction that opened the box. So I started thinking that if the general shape of the ship didn't matter in that case, maybe it wouldn't matter in this case. And honestly, at this point, I do not expect them to, just asked because of that conversation/argument/discussion made me wonder 'what if.'
