1995 ford f350 4x4 diesel converstion

I just converted my 95 f350 4x4 from a 7.5 to a 7.3 IDI my question is i ordered a radiator and i was sent the same identical radiator as my 7.5 gas radiator,are these radiators the same?The radiator i ordered was supposed to be for my 7.3 IDI the parts store said it was the correct one,i looked inside the radiator to see how many rows there are and there are two rows with large flow ports aprox a inch long each is this enough of a radiator for the 7.3 IDI ?Remember i said the one i took out was a 7.5 radiator with the same large flow ports and the new one supposedly for the 7.3 are identicle,any thoughts would be apreciated

They are not even remotely close, The diesel radiators are way larger than the gas.

larger and not made from aluminum. its thicker, wider, heavier. actually the new ones are aluminum but junk. im not sure if you can fit a diesel radiator in your gasser core support though.
