Mixing AC compressor brands - OK? Not OK?

[dieselV6]

My vRS's air conditioning compressor is leaking now badly enough to replace it (). I noticed that Skoda's ETKA always substitutes Mahle part for Delphi/Mahle part. Not sure if there is a good technical reason for it.

Is it OK to use e.g Denso, Valeo or a NRF compressor where a Mahle one has been originally installed? Will it work without recoding etc.? Perhaps someone has replaced it and can share the experience.

The one in my car was Mahle 5Q0820803B, I went through the following part number changes on ETKA: 5Q0820803B->5Q0820803D->5Q0820803J->5Q0820803R->5Q0820803N. 

Help appreciated.
