It often is, but it can stir up some trouble asking. :-)

They're interchangeable, though only IOS 12.2SXF works on both. So if it
runs 12.2SR as a 7600 now, you would have to downgrade to 12.2SXF to
make it work in a 6500 cabinet. You could then upgrade to SXH/SXI from
there.

Please don't ask why SR doesn't work in a 6500 cabinet, which is
technically probably extremely much like a 7600 cabinet save a sticker
somewhere. :-)
