DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THE WHOLE SHIFTER & TOWER CAN BE CHANGED BETWEEN A WD TRANSMISSION & WD45 TRANSMISSION OR VISE VERSA?

I have to agree with MACK. Remember the WD had straight gears while the very late WD's and the WD-45 had a constant mesh transmission. You shifted collars and not gears.
Good Luck!

Won't it work if you change the forks to match the transmission?

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Mack, you're going to have to have a talk with my WD45 then.
I used a NOS WD shift tower with the innards from the WD45, and except for the springs being too long (so I used the shorter springs, It seems to work fine.
