Because they are going to use the same airframe, I'm pretty sure of
that.


Perhaps. If so, there's no reason the AC and MC replacement scould not use
different fuselage lengths. All the important systems are common.

OTOH, they might decide not to use the same airframe if they adopt an exotic
design for an MC-103 replacement (quad tiltrotor, tilt-wing, etc).
