Identifying compatible grills for my Genesis 1300

I'm on the lookout for one more grill to keep as spare parts for my beloved LX1300. I guess the 1000-5000 series have mostly interchangeable parts and I think the previous series as well. Are there grills after the 1000-5000 series that is also compatible?

The reason that I ask is that I see grills on CL/Letgo that look similar to mine but then I find out that they're Spirit 700 or Silver B. I think these have the shallow fireboxes.

Here's one that I was checking out:

This appears to be a Spirit 700 based on the serial number.

Another one:

The owner thinks it's a Silver

The first one is a Spirit 700.
One of the ways to tell is the lack of wood/durawood shelves and the center support bar on the bottom.

The second one appears in every respect to be a Silver B to me - it has every identifiable characteristic of Silver B (the plastic shelves, the knobs, the endcaps, the handle, the lower basket - and 3 burners).

Here's a 1000 series for you:

If you look, you can see the deep firebox as long as the photos are taken correctly.
That grill there definitely has it - plus the wood, lack of endcaps, metal tool hangers, etc.

Thanks. I've seen that before but forgot about it. I wonder if his price was higher until recently?
I wonder what he means by needs propane/nat gas hookup? Manifold is missing?

I'll inquire about it.

I believe it was, I want to say maybe it was $75 or $100 recently.
It has been on there a while - and the reason why I haven't picked it up is precisely that issue - what does it need?
My mom and my in-laws live near-ish Worcester, but I never have the time to go grill shopping when I'm in that area.

Edit:

Here's another 1000 series for you I believe, though it is tough to tell what is up with the lower shelf, it appears to have the deep firebox:

Thanks for the worcester lead. I'm in a dialogue with the guy. He says that it's been running natural gas and has no rust. I'm trying to find out how he did the conversion and if he still has the propane manifold and nat gas hose. Probing for moe details.

I never thought to check providence CL.. It's about an hour from my house. I just want to add one more grill and then I will stop. The last thing I need is to be a hoarder. ;)
 
“I just want to add one more grill and then, I will stop.”
Well, would that that were true, Weberitis is a very serious condition and must be managed with great care, otherwise you could end up with something far worse!
I will always be looking for another grill of one model or another and one comes into the fold and one leaves, gifted to someone who has no grill or to someone who need a better one!
I’d like to add a Skyline and a 26” kettle. Then make the improved carriage to accommodate that and the Pizzaque with stations for the Smokey Joe and go anywhere, with a gas igniter for a chimney. Do you see a pattern here?

Well if you look he has the tank scale so maybe he means you just need a propane regulator, at least it should be the correct manifold.
