Possibly it'll fit your new headset but odds don't favor it. Crown IDs are standardized to match forks, but all other details are internal to the headset design and don't match across brands. Often a given company will use the same crown dimensions for all their headset models, but that's about as close as you get.

In some cases a crown will be close enough to work with another headset, But you'll have a large gap between the crown and cup allowing weather and dirt to enter, or there may be other issues making it less than ideal.
