RE: Difference Between Magnepan Ribbon Tweeters: Mg 20.7 vs 3.6

You are correct the tweeters for the "3 series -- 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 -- and for the 20 series are identical.
The tweeter for the IIIa came in two forms - one identical to the III with an impedance of 3.0 ohms and then as as a 2.2 ohm version. The ribbon for the IIIa requires a 60" slot and the current ribbon requires a 60.6" slot. I routed out the extra 0.6" in my IIIa's and am using the current tweeter. Initially Magnepan would not sell the "newer" ribbon for the IIIa because it didn't fit the frame but if you explain that you are modifying the frame then they are happy to accommodate.
