Why 8.0 lens variance?

Kinda surprised I can’t find any info on this, but can anyone tell me what differences there are between the Why 8.0, 8.1, & 8.2 sunglasses?
The frame elements look the same, so is the difference just the lens profiles? (are they all interchangeable, or close enough to be easily modified to fit?)

I received some old RX 8.0’s with polished frames that I have bead blasted to a near x-metal finish & am wanting to install the more rectangular 8.2 lenses, but hoped to confirm fitment before ordering lenses.

Seek, and ye shall find......
 
8.1 is more oval/rounder than 8.0
The angle towards the noseis also slightly different.
Not sure about 8.2
