Those two model Sherpa T you mention use a circumferential clamp at the top ends of the fork tubes that is fastened with 6mm bolts.

Your Mk4 Lobito was made around the time where some Bultaco models had circumferential top clamps and some models had a cone (tapered) shape to the top end of the fork tubes that fitted into a matching conical hole in the top clamp.

For you to be able to interchange fork tubes the fastening method for the top end of both needs to be the same
