Which Stella SW sizes share the same body?

Sizes that print the same spool dimensions and max drag in Shimano Japan's table are grouped together. Within a group, the size code mostly changes the gear ratio (and sometimes handle or weight). This is our grouping from the official figures, not a Shimano frame definition, and it says nothing about whether parts swap.
