Bushmaster & DPMS Carriers - RE Using DPMS Carrier with a registed Lightning Link

I just received an e-mail from a visitor to Quarterbore.com and they sent me a couple photos of a DPMS Carrier along side a Bushmaster carrier... here are the details:

I was browsing your site, and I must say it is impressive, but I have a
DPMS carrier sitting in front of me and I doubt it would work well with a
rLL. Admitted I don't have one to try it (despite how awesome it would be)
it is the "politically correct" full circle design, it is rounded at the
edges, and the SP1 style carriers that bushmaster offered (I'm not sure if
they still are) are much different in appearance. I have enclosed a few
pictures to help relate everything.
The photos are included as attachments!

Looking at these photos I do not believe that the Bushmaster Carrier is to SP-1 specs and I do not believe that that carriew would work with a LL without modification. The DPMS Carrier, quite to the contrary of what I have read, also clearly will not work with a Lightning Link either...
