Welcome to the forum, Bart. Yes, they should interchange with no problem. MecGar mags are the go-to ones for shooting, to conserve an original. There are several sources for them, sort of on a fluctuating basis as shipments arrive and are sold out. You shouldn't pay more than thirty bucks for one, and they can sometimes be found in the low $20s. You can find other brands for cheaper, but performance and durability may be an issue. As a general rule of thumb, I avoid the ones that are spot-welded together along the body's sides, although I have a couple of cheapies that do OK. The better ones are folded together properly and have a single stake mark at the top of each side, which also serves as a follower stop, IIRC.
