Alas no... it might work but there is no guarantee. Stick to the same
brand as already fitted.

Read what is written. Mixing and matching makes probably won't work
but the OP intends to buy two new alarms and replace the two old
ones.

Yup, I see your point, although he did not say how many alarms there are
in total.

If there are only two, and he is replacing both, then I agree that will
be fine.

AFAIK all mains interlinked alarms use 3 core and earth so it would
just be a case of wiring in the new bases as per their instructions.

You may even find if they have a standardised base, you can just swap
the alarms and leave the old bases.
