I'm hoping someone here can help me out, I have been offered a Kirk BL-5DII L-Bracket and wondered if it will also fit a Canon EOS 5D MkIII or 5Ds as I can't try it out otherwise I'll pass on it as my mkII will be retiring soon.

It will not work on the mkiii or the 5Ds, which uses the same bracket as the mkiii. There are several points of interference, so even modification is not practical.

Thanks I know the various connections are in a different order and the bracket might obscure some but I only use the USB which is on the right side, looks like I'll pass on it.

I realized that when I checked this last for someone else, it was the mkiii bracket on the mkii, not your question. The interference in your case is the lip that contacts the body in front is too tight, and the lip in the rear does not contact at all. There is access to the cable ports. I would say in this case that modification is possible, but the result would not be optimal.
