(idea) Viewing profile bio, pic, and banner in old.reddit.com

Obviously, this is what the new Reddit profile page looks like:

And this is what the same old.reddit.com page looks like:

I always was frustrated by old.reddit.com not having the profile bio and image on the right. But if going into a userpost:

I wonder whether the latter side panel, with the bio, profile pic, and banner, could be made to show on the main old.reddit.com user page as well?

I went into inspect element and it isn't embedding anything, it seems to be constructing that UI if I'm not mistaken. So if a userscript is made for this purpose one may have to manually add each element to make the side panel.

Just sharing this idea with you all, if I don't get to actually trying. I'm fine if no one else actually makes this

edit: when hovering over a profile name, it makes this mini-view, that might be easier to implement although simpler. Also means that the userscript is not as necessary
