[NLRS] Question on 10GHz feed

I have a Chaparral feed that came with my 26" offset dish. Its the
commercial feed that was associated with the dish. Here is my question - can it be
used for a 10.368 GHz feed ?
Here is the data:
1. It has a small round mounting flange (on the transition end) which
doesn't seem to fit any WR90 transitions that I have.
2. The window in the flange measures 0.70" x 0.49". It is about 0.37"
thick (deep) where it mates up with a round waveguide.
3. That round wave guide is about 2.2" long with a 0.750" in diameter.
4. The feedhorn end has four or five (depending how you count) scalar rings
with each scalar ring more forward than the one behind it. The total
throat of the feed horn with scalar rings is about 1.4" deep. The entire feed
measures about 4.25" long end-to-end.
Will this work on 10.368 GHz ? Is that 0.70 x 0.49 flange a problem for
mating with standard 0.90" x 0.40" WR90 ?
