Help! Will shorter T1 belts like Batman/Riddler fit corresponding T2 figures?

I'm pretty sure they will. I've mixed them before without problems. -
I've put a white T1 POTA Astronaut belt over a T2 dressed Aquaman without difficulty.
I was wondering if the same is true of the Batman "cartridge" belt...WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I don't hink there's any size difference whatsoever. Only the opacity of certain belts and the fact some are elastic.Comment

I've heard mention that there are differences in the lengths between type 1, type 2 and fist fighter belts but I don't have the luxury of comparing them side by side or original unmolested examples for reference. I can't imagine it would be enough for the naked eye to point out. Seems to me that belts are belts and I haven't noticed a major difference in fit in any of the ones I own but I will admit some are tougher to clasp. I don't know that there are any printed specs that would confirm the length of each alleged belt. I think it would have to be someone very, very anal to look hard enough to determine that anyway.

Actually, the T2 waist is almost 3/16 of an inch thinner than the T1. So one would assume that T1 belts, if they were different, wouldn't be any shorter.Comment

Ben's WGSH book points out the difference in belt lengths & opacity, and I can attest to the fact that later Robin-style belts are indeed a bit longer. This is supposedly due to retooling for the fist-fighting figures, and continued thereafter.
I have a few later T2 Batman belts, but no T1 to compare it with regarding fit...WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment
