A few years ago I overlaid drawings of both at equal sizes, to see how it pans out (see below, inc. Graham Halstead drawing in blue)
The steering rack is behind the front axle line on an X1/9, rather than in front, like a Stratos.
Montes have a much closer track to a Stratos, and the front of the rear suspension pick ups are on a removable bar.
I asked Mick Covill if he had any of the parts that get cut off Monte tubs before they're made into his 037 replicas. There were none at that time.
