Will it work, yes. Will it be a 416- no it will not.
Check the magnet specs - the 418 has a larger magnet slug. In plain English, that results in mid-band gain, all else being equal. That leads to less on the top and bottom, at least in a relative sense. To compound the bad deal on those, they weren't reconed with Altec parts. And not an especially good job of it.
The 420, OTOH has the same magnet as the 416, and can be reconed as a 416.
