Title says it all.  I am looking to replace the ailerons and flaps in my ‘68 F, and have an opportunity to buy a scrap wing with the parts from a ‘68 M20C. 
 

Are they the same ailerons and flaps?

Look in the parts manual.

That's actually a great idea. :D

I was kind of hoping that someone would just know.

So I actually just learned about this that the Mooneys from 1964 and earlier had an older style aileron that is much thinner at the back and actually tapers down. There is another post that I included that shows both of the types of ailerons. Any Mooney made from 1965 and up should have the newer correct ailerons. The 1964 E that I found actually had them upgraded in 65. So some early models may already have the updated one’s. 
As far as I know the flaps are the exact same but the travel on both the aileron and the flap are higher. I don’t know where that additional range occurs though. So the attach points may be different on one or both

I hope that helps a little

that is an interesting way to get all the parts...

One way to check to see if buying the specific flaps and ailerons vs a whole wing... is sensible...

Contact @Alan Fox he might have what you are looking for...

And might have ideas for what you don’t want any longer...
