A Google search on those part number turns up an Excel spreadsheet (goes
directly to the spreadsheet, can't get the URL) from the UK that shows the
dimensions for both of those part numbers and shows them at dimensions that
won't fit the Vanagon battery box.  They say 190mm high vs the 175mm spec
for the Group 41.  That's better than 1/2 inch higher and I don't think
there is 1/2 of extra room.  But interesting none the less.
