I was a superficial cleaning to the lettera DL I bought this morning and it was obvious that inside it was the exact same thing as other typewriters I have.

The Lettera 32, Lettera 35, Dora and Lettera DL are identical inside.

Any of you know if there are more that share the same chassis? I've seen others with slightly larger versions of it like the Studio 46, but the other 4 could swap casings easily.

From Wikipedia, the Olivetti Dora and Lettera De Luxe (1965), Lettera 25 and 35 (1974), Lettera 10 and 12 (1979) and 40/41/42 and 50/51/52 (1980) all shared the same basic mechanicals, and differed only in case design and color.

    I disagree at least with the lettera 12, I have one and I could barely use anything as spare parts donor for the others.

    I didn't know about the 40s and 50s, in the pictures they look like they have very different elements on them.
