Hi Bill
Take the dimensions of your 120" wb 22nd Series upper grille. I believe you'll find those of the 127" wb 22nd Series Custom and 23rd Series Super, Super Deluxe and Custom is taller and possibly a tad wider.
The lower grille looks to interchange between all series, at least in terms of space. If you can create vertical bars to insert into your upper grille, then insert the egg-crate in the lower, you'll have the richer look you prefer. Perhaps pick up a spare upper grille to experiment with. Purists will balk but its your car to enjoy. Don't forget to add the rear egg-crate around the taillights too.
