depo projector lense diameter?

For w203.
I was ready to purchase the depo projector for my w203 and retrofit it with e55 projectors until an ebay seller told me that the diameter of the depo lense is 2.75 inches.
I thought the depo projectors should be very closely the same size as e55 projectors. Very easy retrofit.
How does e55 projector (3inch lense) fit the depo housing in this case? The shroud (blue area in color as you all know already) will definitely not fit.
I read thru some posts saying that depo projector is just replica of e55. If it is replica, shouldn't the size be closely the same? including the lense.

Thx in advance for the answer.
