Both 3 plug and the 97-98 pin outs are the same so I don't see why not,I guess the only way to tell is plug it in and give it a go

If it's the same ecu then yes will be fine, if it's not then no, could cause damage to engine.
Also the v4 and v5 have immobilisers that control the ecu, so when you swap ecu's it doesn't work, saying that if yours is an import it may differ.

Interestingly when i swapped my ECU over it was a Y7 to a PPP the Maff sensor went faulty, although it didn't show signs of deteriorating pre swap so I guess its something to watch out for in future.
