Just out of curiosity, which parts of a 1911 and a 2011 frame gun can be used in both? Just drop in parts, not the ones that need fitting.

Triggers and mag catches are the only two major ones that I can think of. Mainspring housings are a maybe.

Like USC said triggers and mag catches. Also the mainspring. Thats really it.

I've never seen a trigger or a mag catch that will interchange between widebodies and singlestacks.

Okay, let's take this one step further, what about the UPPER parts of the 1911 and 2011 frame gun?

Guide rod? Sear? Hammer? Extractor? Safety?

All upper parts are 1911 compatible.
