They should, the main difference being that the K98s bayonet doesn't have a muzzle ring and the VZ-24 does. That being said it is a bayonet and it might not fit the rifle just due to manufacturing tolerances or depending on the VZ-24 bayonet (there was many different VZ-24 type rifles adopted in several different calibers).
I had a VZ33 Financial Guard carbine and bayonet at one time. I never saw another carbine or bayonet. I did see a large number of Gew33/40(t)s in New Zealand in the 60’s.

VZ33
Between 1933 to 1938 30,000 bayonets were made for the use of the Financial guards and Police units. This blade was for a carbine and uses a different mounting system from the VZ24 and has a smaller pommel and blade (355mm long with 228 blade). This are all marked CÉTN for police. There are versions of this blade available without the muzzle ring, converted by the Germans, since the smaller mounting would not be adequate for "use" these are thought to be used as "dress" blades or hangers, and not as a military weapon.
