Interchangeable fork tubes between brands

I'm looking to get some fork tubes for my T250. The ones it has now are a bit damaged in the travel area so it won't seal right. I've read that they are 34mm, similar to a number of other bikes of the era. My question is whether I could use some for say a yamaha RD350 since they are easier to come by and are also 34mm. Will they fit in the sliders or there might be issues? Has anyone else done this?

That means any of those would work right?

Diameter - yes. Length - maybe.
