Unless it carries the same test ratings, weight limits and design approvals from both manufacturers I would assume not.  Oris are part of the Bosal Group, Witter are a UK company and competitor so it is unlikely parts are interchangeable.

Even slight mismatches in shape or tolerances could lead into unforeseen issues.
