Yes but if the OD has an adapter on it (for an SII transmission) it will not work on a late SIV or any SV transmission since some oil passages are different between the early and late transmission cases.
To be simple, the OD gearbox you use, requires a specific adapter casting between the gearbox and the OD unit.
OD units themselves are generally interchangeable since nearly all have 10 spline inputs and 10 spline outputs, though I hear that there are some that have 25 spline outputs.

Ed, If you are planning to ADD the OD to a SV tranny, one that does not already have an OD, you'll also need a different mainshaft. The mainshaft on the reg tranny is different than the mainshaft on an OD tranny. But of you already have an OD on your SV and are simply replacing it with an SII OD then I think that means you have the right mainshaft and then RootesRacer's answer means you can swap, by using the SV adapter housing.
