The EP3 and DC5 have the same suspension structure and basic floorpan but the rest is very different. I am guessing the shell/glass/interior is where most of the weight comes from. Do EP3s have a steel or aluminium reinforcement bar under the rear seats? The DC5R bar is aluminium.
If you want to lose weight with no loss of comfort or function I would start with replacing the front seats, the bonnet, and the exhaust with lightweight items. You might lose 25-50 kg with those items. I lost 10kg just by replacing my exhaust.
