Off hand I would say yes, but I have no experience of using a diode which I don't actually have the manufacturers specification for. It is important to know the maximum current that can be used as it is a very fine line between bright and blown.
Can the maximum current be decided by guesswork ? and if so how ? - these are questions for which I have no answer. If the diode cost nothing then there is nothing to be lost by trying or experimenting but some of these diode on eBay fetch real money and I think that 'trial and error' with these would be just plain daft.
Just my opinion but I am not a gambling man and never have been.
Tweakie.
