Shouldn't be a huge problem. The thread should be the same. The depth may be slightly off, but this can be corrected with a thicker gasket.
I've used a Dive Rite elbow on my Sherwood BC and the only thing that was the problem was my Sherwood threads were a bit shorter.
The good thing was the gasket that came with the Sherwood was thicker, so it worked out in the end.
Be sure you get the right cable length for your corrugated hose. And do an overnight pressure test to make sure it holds. Hang your BC up, inflate it fully, and give it a squeeze. After 24hours give it another squeeze to see if it leaked any.
You may also need a pin to connect the cable to your inflator. Your inflator should already have a slot for said pin.
Thanks for that! Was actually thinking about getting a whole new assembly and having the OMS one as a spare. Don't wanna tinker too much with stuff and ripping them apart. I'm a cluts. LolDiveGear Express is a good one. Another is Northeast Scuba Supply. They have a a more diverse selection of inflator/hose/elbow packages

I wouldn't buy a new gasket and instead just use the one already in your OMS wing.
You should only need the elbow dump. Be sure to get the right length elbow dump so the cable fits your corrugated hose.
Anybody tried this so far? Does it fit? I'd personally prefer a pull dump there just in case I need it.
Thanks a million!
