You can swap it, the problem will be if you just take the s-record out of the 512k radio and force it into the 1-meg vocon the codeplug will still be an older version. Your best bet is to read all tuning info from the 512k vocon and write it down, find a newer version s-record from a 1-meg radio and push that in. Then restore your tuning values.
