This is not only possible but probable as well.
It was somewhat of a common practice to sell parts, etc. to other companies for seemingly dissimilar usage.

I had restored a '31 Buick series 90 Opera Coupe about twenty years ago.
The pillar lamps were glass and quite ornate.
Turns out the identical glass lens and chrome frames were used in the 1950's throughout the buses built for the Chicago Transit Authority.
Also, the differential from that car (HUGE) were utilized much later in International trucks.
