Tomix couplers for the Tenshodo KuMoYa?

As I've now had emails to say that the KuMoYa and the motor/trailing wheelsets have been dispatched, I'm looking at ways of fitting working couplers. It appears Tenshodo include Kadee-style draft gear boxes in the package but nothing to fit inside them.

 

I have seen a couple of Tomix parts which might do the trick, but I'm wondering what the difference is between HO-C21 and -C22? They're the type of double-headed coupler fitted to some KuMoYas/KuMoRus and some locos which can work with knuckles and Shibatas. One is apparently for the EF63 and the other the EF64-1000, but there are no dimensions given.

 

I have seen images of Tomix close couplers fitted to these units, but this appeared to involve attacking the coupler unit to create space for the bogies to swing. Don't fancy that given the price of said couplers!
