Tt-33 type 54 parts swap?

[Gmoney47]

Quick question, are Chinese type 54 parts completely interchangeable with Russian Tt-33 parts? Like would it make sense to buy a cheap type 54 for extra parts for my Russians?

I've found that the Chinese faithfully copied the TT-33, unlike the Zastava version. Cracked the slide on my Zastava M70a, but decided to replace it with a Chinese slide, which was built stronger. TT firing pin fits Chinese (and vis versa) but not Zastava.
