Of couse the caliper of the shutters must be equal and the focal length must be equal. After swapping you have to re-adjust the focus. That might be tricky. Some old folders used paper shims to adjust the focal lenght. If you mount a Solinar lens onto a Voigtländer the camera will loose its collectors value since this is no original combination. You should be aware of this.
