Chances are they both "english threaded" so it's quite possible you will be swop the BBs. If you are lucky they may be the same spindle length too. If not you could have chainline issues.

Dont forget that "english threaded" has LH thread on drive side, and dont force anything that doesnt want to thread in easily.
