KBus Boards, will the processors swap?

I have a Solbourne 5/600 machine, it has a half dozen VME slots, and 7 kbus slots. I recieved it with 2 33mhz motherboards installed in the KBus slots (along with assorted RAM boards, etc), and two spare boards with different layouts from a Solbourne 6 machine that have 40 mhz chips. Will a chip swap changing the 5 boards processors to 40mhz chips allow them to all be compatible with each other, allowing me to set this system up in a quad configuration? Feedback is appreciated.
 
It does not fit into motherboards, the each processor, each segment of RAM, each I/O function, has its own board, that plugs into a backplane that is fed by an I/O board. As it is an old architecture (Started being used in 1989), and it predates Suns SMP Sparc designs, it has nearly no support, and very few of them were made, as such, it is rather technical.
