Sure, see below image.

 

 

This is a later ‘deeper’ airbag. If you look at yours the rear will be quite a lot shallower.

 

Obviously, the pictured airbag wouldn’t fit into a wheel with a shallower space like the older wheels have. This is why I needed an older style airbag for my wheel.

 

When you look at your wheel and compare to this image, you should get an idea of the size of the gap if you fit the old bag to a newer wheel. I believe someone in another thread estimated it at 1 cm.

 

Of course, this might all be academic if the wheel you are looking to purchase is the older style, then it would fit perfectly.

I see. I really appreciate your help, and I've learned a lot from your posts. Do you happen to know the part number of your old (original) steering wheel? Also, since you changed to the alcantara wheel with the code 565 064 241 A GCW, which turned out to be an older model, it seems that the wheel I've selected 565 064 241 B CXA has a very similar part number. So, I assume it should also be an older wheel and should fit my original airbag, which according to your post is from before MY2018. I think I'll take a risk and buy the steering wheel, and I'll keep you all updated on my success. Hopefully  

Yes it looks like that would be the equivalent of my wheel, but in leather. This document also seems to back that up. So your current airbag should fit.
 

I don’t know the part number of my original wheel, I’m sure if I rung up the local dealer they could tell me.

I've been looking through this thread as I'm looking to change the wheel in my 2019 Superb SEL Exec. I can see I have the later airbag with the crease across the top.

I am struggling to find a flat bottomed wheel in the same button style. Would the later button style wheel be a direct fit? This seems quite frequently available from Superbs and Kodiaqs. I understand that to enable heating means an extra part and coding although I haven't been able to find the cost of this.
