I understand you can use glider hours towards a private pilot license, but can you use motor glider hours toward a glider pilot license?

A glider is a glider...
If the FAR says required time in a glider it counts.
If the FAR says required time in an aircraft it counts.
If the FAR says required time in an airplane, it doesn't count.

Also, a private license is a private license. It's issued
for particular classes and categories. So, you can have a
private pilot license authorized for glider, airplane single engine land,
airplane multiengine land, or whatever. You'll have one
piece of plastic in your pocket saying "PRIVATE PILOT"
which on the back will specify what you can use it in.
