Replace Chipmaster 5X20 / Bantam Norton gearbox

[Emanuel PaulParticipant @emanuelpaul89800]

Hello everyone,
I got a disassembled Chipmaster 5X20. Thank goodness it wasn't broken down into all its individual parts. It will still be a puzzle.
She has the Imperial Norton gearbox. The handwheels and spindles on the support are metric.
I could get a Bantam with metric Norton gearing.
For this I would have to travel 450 km and it would be good to know if this trip could make sense.
Can I swap the two gearboxes for each other?
