In terms of the T3 type, probably only the boiler, cylinder and crankshaft.

The rest is considerably different. Not even the motion is the same.

Similar story for the DNA type.

No DNB 'tractors' were ever made.

Early D2's were similar, sharing most components with the Traction Engine type, but not many with the Road Loco type.
