Exactly my thoughts; with a relocated dash, it might fit the Vitpilen quite nicely...
At the BMW the angle of the flyscreen is not as flat as the Kiska-flyscreen, but it could be adjusted with some custom made brackets.
With a Vitpilen I would give it a try.

The Vit headlight looks like a circle from the head-on view but once you are looking down on it you can see it is quite an oval. Something made for a circle isn't going to fit very well, there would be large gaps on the sides.

I wonder if the Vitpilen headlight will be an aftermarket part that could be swapped onto the Svartpilen? Is the bracket the same?

Someone already swapped the headlight the other way round; from a Vitpilen headlight to a (401) Svartpilen headlight; since it was plug and play (as he reported), I assume the Vitpilen headlight should also work with the Svartpilen plug and play.

In principle, you're right; but it depends on the circle radius and since it's just a fraction of the circle, it doesn't need to be that bad; here's a simple sketch.
