At least one person tried to convert a 39gs to a 48gII, documented in Chinese here. It appears to be a non-trivial effort, especially considering the price for use 49g+/50g units is not significantly higher than the lesser units.

I think there was at least one more topic on a non-English-language forum that described the process in more detail (I recall that there was a photo of the donor 39gs reassembled and identifying as a 48gII onscreen). The author of that article mentioned that the 39gs was quite inexpensive since many were being sold as surplus without without packaging or manuals in China at the time.
