Not quite, there is still a difference between the 1102-1106 wing and the full Super wing on the inboard bit. If you look at the leading edge then on the 1106 wings the chord extension has a slight kink as it moves towards the fuselage to keep the wing chord shape the same as on the 1101s. On the Super this kink is gone as they modified the fuselage and all the fillet panels to fit the 'new' wing. I'll dig out a photo later on.
