On the face of it, No!
Unless the drive washers are identical, which they most likely aren't, it won't work.
Get the proper part.

If the "keying" to the shaft is the same... and it does not cause binding... its OK. If the little notch(es) in the crankshaft and the flat(s) on the thrust washer don't match... don't do it.
You'll know as soon as you tighten the prop if it causes binding. The prop will either turn freely when not in compression... or it basicly won't turn at all.
There are many parts that cross-over from engine to engine without problems.... but you do have to be a lot more careful with some than others. The thrust washer is one of the easier ones to "get away with." For example a different maker's piston may fit the bore perfectly... but most times, the wrist pin distance to the top of the piston and the piston skirt size and shapes vary enough that you can NOT interchange them.
