Body shell wise yes but other than that I do not know.

Chiltern have a small fleet of class 172s for local London Marylebone - Gerrard's Cross workings. I wonder whether they run on Saturdays? I hope so, as I should be in the area in July.

Further to my post just above, I have been very lucky! On Saturday December 23rd I caught the 8.11 from Oxford to Haddenham & Thame Parkway, worked by a refurbished 168. I then returned to Oxford on the 9.41 from Haddenham, and it worked by a double 172! Not in my wildest dreams did I imagine examples reaching Oxford, especially on a Saturday.

I boarded the 1212 Snow Hill to Marylebone on Tuesday 14/11/2017 which was formed of 168321 and 172103.

It is interesting that such units are sometimes coupled to make 6-carriage trains.

Marylebone station workers illegally entered a premises and held a party breaking lockdown restrictions, some of the attendees were supposed to be working a shift at the time!
