Radio size question

I have a DB38 radio in my 39 Hudson six. I have a weather master that I want to install. But I am told it will not fit due to the radio. That I need and SA38 radio. My question is the SA38 radio seems to be like mine except it doesn't have the big speaker that hands under the radio "box" itself. I cant imagine the size of the box being any different if nothing else due to the tube size. Can anyone confirm this or disprove it?

Thank you to all who reply
