Don't count on it.  The filter offsets *are* matched for all
8-pole (250, 500, 1000, 1800, 2100, 2800, 6000, 13000 Hz) filters.

When using a receive bandwidth greater than 2800 Hz in SSB, it is
not a matter of matching the offsets between the 6 and 2.8 KHz
filters.  Using different filters violates the principle of diversity
reception - the *carrier frequencies* are different (which is not
possible due to the use of the same oscillators for both receivers)
because the filter skirts are different distances from the nominal
filter center frequencies.
