Give it a try and measure. In addition to the overall width of the BB-spindle, the diameter of the taper actually varies at the tip. That means a 115mm spindle from one maker would have the crankarm sit further up the spindle than a 115mm spindle from another manufacturer. So even with exact same spindle-length, you may see chainline of 46 with one BB and 48mm with another.
