No, they are not. The bends are in different places. The military braces bend closer to the fender blade since they do not have skirts. Better for mud. Military braces interfere with the skirts on civilian models. And don't forget that Big Twin are also different and do not interchange. Plus military braces are narrow type, and civilian for your '49 are wide.
