This is very unlikely.
   Speaking in generalities, electronic circuits  tend to be
interdependent like eco-systems. You can't just swap out the Whooping
Cranes for Snapping Turtles without creating a whole cascade of
downstream consequences. 
   Vactrols are especially finicky about their support circuitry and
sometimes vary wildly from one unit to another -with the same part
number- ! 
   i've never seen the versions of any of the production Borg
schematics but i'd take an educated guess that they differ
significantly , at least in the LED-element driver sections.
   i've learned the hard way that mods are never simple ....
especially the simple ones!
