Are BBB and BBS Levers Interchangeable?

I could ask HRA this question, but figured I'd start here.
Can I move levers back and forth between my BBS 357 rifle (regular lever) and my BB Brass 45 Colt Carbine (large loop)?

Should be able to do so. Henry parts website sells the same lever for both the H006/H012 series (BBC/BBS).

Wow! Henry Pride rep was really on top of their inquiry form this morning, Evan. Barely took 10 minutes to get a response to your Q. I simply copied it into the form and zapped it to HRA. Here ya go.

Good Morning,
The answer to your question is yes, the levers are interchangeable between the Big Boy Brass 45 Colt and the Big Boy Steel 357.
If you have any other questions you can email me back.
Hope this was helpful!
Thank you.

Well, that's just too funny for words. I haven't heard back from them yet. At least now we know. Thanks, PT!

It's also interesting that HPride doesn't offer a regular loop lever as a Part option.
We've all read the "Large Loop/Regular Loop?" debates (seems to boil down completely to personal preference), but, if one had a Carbine (OEM=Large Loop) and wanted a Regular Loop (just because), would HRA sell one?

Ha! Even more interesting. I just got a phone call from HRA to answer my question. Seemed like a gun-tech type, not a C/S rep, and, based on the accent, seemed to be out of Bayonne!
Same answer, but was impressed to get a phone contact, "just to make sure" they understood the question!

Did you ask about "getting a Regular Loop (just because)?"

Asking "just because", they might just send you one. I tried to order an extra sling stud for my butt stock. They don't stock the studs as a separate part. Instead they sent me a whole butt stock with stud attached, complementary! Might do the same for a lever.

The gun tech wasn't in the business of selling or comping parts, he just wanted to understand my question. I might query C/S and see what happens.

Well, it doesn't hurt to ask, nicely. I inquired of HRA if they would sell me a regular loop lever for my 45 Colt Brass carbine and got a quick response just asking for the S/N and my mailing address.
"It's in the mail"!
Gotta love that kind of customer service!

I'm more of a "try it first and then ask" kind of guy.
I'm the same way about forgiveness.
Turned out well.
Giving away expensive parts as told here, at this time, in this world, it boggles the mind!
