Maybe. Thing is, there are variations in axle diameter and thread pitch within nationalities just as much as there are between them. For example, your rear axle could be 9.5mm x 1.0mm or 9.5mm x 26 TPI or 10.0mm x 1.0mm (ISO). Also, there are variances in the curvatures of the bearing cups and cones. So, if you need to replace or use a piece of axle hardware, you are probably best off replacing the entire set.
