The gears on the left are a later style spiral cut design.  You would have to change the pinion as well to have a matched set of gears.  The problem with these gearcases is that the complete assemblies can be swapped through many years.  But, there have been many changes through the years so the individual parts may not be able to be interchanged…

Don what I liked about the coarser gear set is the shift dog.  The lugs seam to me to be deeper and the entire dog is wider.  Time will tell how it works.  I put it in with the fine set of gears.  It seams to work good so far!
