No.

(The blades physically fit and are identical except for more DRAM and 
CAM in the XMR versions.  No comment on firmware hacks from me, but 
it's really not a supported configuration, or one you want to run on, 
as you probably need the extra CAM in your XMR and you'll run into 
Issues if one linecard runs out of storage space for routes.)

This will be slightly different for MLXe.  Talk to your account manager.
