This may be a silly question but I can freely swap out the core module against a different one, right? Or to put it differently: are the motherboards the same in different DevTerm models? If I had a A04 DevTerm I could just buy a CM3+ Light module, pop that in, flash the software on an SD card and turn it into a CM3 DevTerm?

Yes the CPI 3.14 is the same whatsoever core module you have/use.
