I'm not sure, but I just got my parts today and they were labeled cartridge specific, I.E. .223 spring.

Well, if your strictly taking push feed actions the parts are the same except for the extractors.

The extractors for the .378" 223-204s are longer from the detent to the outside than the others. You can use those for the .473" cartridge for example for the .378"s boltheads, but not the other way around, they'll jam in the lug recess when a cartridge rim is engaged.
