Sorry to hear about your rusty sunroof...

BTW, from the little bit I looked in... the glass panel is from an overseas version of the impreza, I guess... and just happens to fit the same "cartridge." (the sunroof unit frame, installed to the underside of the roof.)

The steel and glass versions are probably largely designed to the same specification, just a difference in the panel material, clear transparent glass, or solid with a headliner on the inside.

Subaru probably worked with a company like Webasto, or American Sunroof Company (ASC), or other OE supplier, and specified the design, and the panel part is modular between them.

I would call it a "cross fitment", since the SVX was not fitted with it, but the part evidently fits, from another source.
