I can't say for sure, but if you have an example of the 140 mph, you can.
On Smith's speedo's, there's a four digit number printed on the
face, normally in the 1000-1500 range.  This number is
revolutions/mile, I think.  Anyway, if the numbers are the same, or
I would even feel OK about +/- 10, you should be able to swap them.
