You may have to adjust the controller calibration slightly, but that's
normal even between the same model of rotor.
Using remote relays, I share a single DCU-1 and control cable between two
Ham IV rotors and one T2X rotor. The DCU-1 is calibrated for the T2X, and
it's slightly off for the HAM IV rotors. But not enough to matter for the
beamwidths of the antennas involved.

Yes and yes.
