Solution
It should work. You got good bases for it with same speed and timing.
Ofc it's best to have exactly same memories (manufacturer, type, size, ...) to achieve max compatibility but it should work.
I mixed few times different sizes from different manufacturers and different age (like 4-5y difference) without problem and even different speed. But ultimately noone can be 100% sure until you try it.
