Same as the other cars. The difference is in the panel between the back window and the top of the trunk lid; it's longer on the coupes.

As stated all lids the same length, roofs are different length.

The 51 trunk lid has interior trunk lid hinges. The 49 & 50 have exterior hinges. You cannot put a 51 trunk lid on a 49 or 50 without the interior panel that has the inside hinge mechanism. It's not the easiest swap.
