Plastic is interchangeable on the MR and CR. I think the MT rear fender is different because I'm not sure the exhaust goes under the seat. Levers are interchangable, but the CR may have had lighter parts. The handlebars are all the same diameter.
You'll probably have to have a clutch cable made because the small end at the engine is different than most cables. It cost me $25 to have one made at local bike shop.

Thanks! I thought they would but always nice to know for sure. Hey, I finally got to take an indepth look at the bike today. Need to boil out the tank, find some mounting rubber/bolts or whatever for the front of the tank. The points are BURNT!! the coil aint right and the carb is sticky. found the throttle cable stuck between the forks and the turn stop. I checked compression and had 60 lbs. first kick and 120 on the next. pressure stayed around 120 for 3 more. I fell that should do. just won 2 deals on the BAY. got a CR carb coming and a new front fender. also, ordered new points and a coil yesterday ( something told me they would be bad ) for 104.20. the carb comes with the throttle and cable. should enliminate any pesky fit problems. I am going to flip the preston petty udder mudder around on the back and remount it. Hopefully I can have a couple of good swap meets soon and make some more green for this project. By the way... You ever feel that we're the only 2 here?
