I am not the all-knowing expert compared to some here ... but I am 99% sure the answer to your question is "yes, but only for the corresponding 2-screw or vintage model"

I also think that you can swap those bridges. As a matter of fact, I think that starting back to 1987 or whenever it was that Fender came out with the 2-point tremolo, you can swap between any American Standard or American Series from the past 23 years. The only major change was that the new American Standard in 2008 replaced the block saddles with the vintage looking bent steel saddles and improved the trem block material, both of which don't impact how the bridge fits on the two trem posts.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't see why not, only the saddles have changed, not the bridge. At least that's what Fender claims...
