Need some info.. 2001 Polaris sportsman 500 ho

Hello,
I just bought my first atv (2001 Polaris sportsman 500 ho) and need some info you anyone could help.
Would like to know what years the 500 HO's are the same? For cross over parts and accessories reasons.
I'm specifically looking for brush guard / bumper options as well as winch systems. I found a Warn bumper that will fit but can't pinpoint what winch mounting plate I would need to install it if I were to purchase it. I can't seem to find many accessories for this yr 500 HO.
Any help would be appreciated.

Chassis are designated by Generations. 1996 to 2003 are all Gen IV.

Also the plastic and bumpers of Magnums and Explores are the same.
