LA36, 120 and 180 were mechanically similar but that about it.
the logic and a few other detils were different.

The LA210 is a varient of the LA100RO for most mechanical parts.
The la210 and LA100 shared the same print head, ribbon, carriage motor
platten motor, font carts, and a few other bits.  Again they were 
related so many parts could be shared but the logic board for each
were differnt.  

Things you want to save are power supplies, print heads, drive motors,
ribbons, and the litle one way clutch used for the ribbon advance.
