Replacing pump in Bubble King Mini 160 (AC) with a RD X (DC)

Have any of you tried to replace the AC pump in a Bubble King Mini 160 with the newer Red Dragon X DC pump? I talked to Royal Exclusiv about it, and they say I have to replace the entire skimmer body to fit the pump. I haven't been able to see the exact differences in the new and old skimmer bodies, to see why this is necessary.
 
I can’t answer the question but welcome to RC!

My speculative guess would be possibly the pipe threading to connect the pump or overall pump size
 
Yes, welcome to RC. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question either.

In the past when I've needed to replace a skimmer pump, I've reached out to Premium Aquatics and they were very helpful in getting a pump that would work for me.
