Does anyone know the validity of this statement?

"Other than all the changes mentioned above, the 200 Series was almost identical to the 140 and 160 Series from the bulkhead to the very rear end. Even the dashboard was the same as that fitted to the 1973-1974 140 and 160 series."
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_200_series

The reason I ask is that I have tracked down a service manual for a 140 series, but not a 240.
