Solar Irradiance Sensor Compatibility (IMT vs Meteocontrol)

Victron says on their website that:

"Ingenieurbüro Mencke & Tegtmeyer GmbH (IMT) offer a range of digital silicon irradiance sensor models within the Si-RS485 series that are all compatible with a Victron GX device."

I would like to find out if the Meteocontrol Si Series RS485 Modbus Irradiance sensors that look exactly the same as, and have the same specifications as IMT sesnors, would work with the Ekrano.

I have attached below the datasheets of both sensors.
