It may be the same part, just trimmed in the ZX-5n, but I'd suspect the
similarities simply come from the design side "take this design, make it
flush to the mount". No reason to waste cycles redesigning the part
which doesn't need it.

I just took a peek at the lens mount/mirror box on my D. The mirror
box assembly currently precludes doing this mod without a redesigned
mirror box. The current design offers no way for the coupler to pass
through, even if cut away, there's not enough clearance by the looks
of things. The mount ring itself is compatible though. It looks like
the entire right-hand side of the mirror box would need a redesign to
allow for the addition of the coupling.
From this, I'd suspect that the only chance of adding this
functionality would be in a new camera.
