Lightbulb Question answered.
You have actually answered your own question.

There is no difference in the radios between RW and FW.

The plug on the end of the headse cord is different. I fly RW and FW. The cord that drapes across my left knee in the C172 I don't want draped across my left knee in a Bell 206 - something to do with using the collective.rolleyes: Most helicopters have the radio jack in the overhead panel or rear bulkhead for that reason.

I have a DC headset and HU5 helmet, both with curly tails, with different mics. I sometimes have to swap the mics because of the radio setup but not because it is FW or RW. For FW I have a 3' extender and adaptor with the dual FW plugs. Works a treat. :
