Steering wheel adapters; spline pitch, do these cars interchange

Do the 510, Z cars and roadster have the same steering wheel spline pitch? I have access to an old Foumuling France adapter that was on a 510. Will it work on my 1970, 1600 Roadster?
Trying not to buy something that will end up on the shelf if it will not work.

I have a Formuling France hub and steering wheel on my ‘68. Don’t recall offhand the hub number or number of splines.

#139. That is what is stamped on the flat of what the washer and nut might be covering up. If your are inclined, check if you car see the inside the hub, below the horn button. It might be visible on yours.
Thank you.

I used a spare steering wheel during the painting phase of my resto, came off a 240Z so I suggest the answer is yes.

#1390 (zero is struck very lightly) on the hub/boss. Indicated to also fit the 240Z.
My spline counter is unreliable...

I think mine isn't the right # of splines ..1 too many or too few off ..but get it where you want it tighten it down it sets straight and locks
