My nephew has a 1954 Greenie that the motor at this point in time is not working. I picked up a 1998 Grayling with legs and both ends that was made into a bech top Deputy.
My question is are the way and support tubes on the Greenie the same diameter as the ones that would have been used on the Grayling? if not will it all still fit on the Greenie tubes?

As I recall the way tubes, the one the headstock rides on are all the same dimensions, 1-3/4". The lower or bench tubes do vary in diameter depending on age.

If I understand the question you will have no problem using the headstock from your new purchase on the older machine.

My concern is using the greenie support tubes with the graylings head rest, and base assembly?

Only the bench tubes vary. Greenie and early Goldies = 1 7/8".

Affects the base castings only.
