Keep in mind that Kawasaki will assign a different part number to virtually identical part with only a color change for example.

Yes!

I've noticed that some parts are superceeding to newer part numbers in lieu of those differences. For instance, a radiator for my 94 KX is NLA, but a rad for a 99-02 is still available. The only differences between the two is the 94 is black and does not have a tab for a small 2" brace. Originally 2 different part numbers. So somehow Kawi is making it a little easier for us.

Tri, another trick to this whole part interchange thing is to reserarch surrounding parts. Let's say....an intake boot (Holder, Carburetor) if the heads and carbs between the two bikes are the same part number then you can almost bet the holders are the same. Might have a vac port on the opposite side, but will bolt right in. Looking up gasket part numbers is a big help too.

Here's Patton's thread, it should really be a Sticky.
