Just try it, as long it fits it will be good to go. Possibly one of our fellow members will provide you with the relevant technical sheet, these are more useful at the more advanced stage of taking apart movements and putting them back together in a better state.

The first thing to do is to check out with the Dr Ranfft database the characteristics of both watches regarding exchaning and measure the dimentions of both movements. 

Ranfft has about zero information when it comes to non-Swiss and non-mechanical calibers. But a lot of information is available online anyway, just search and read, again and again.

Thanks so much to everyone! so far, i found out that 5M65 has 4.5mm hight, being the 5M22 4.3mm...

Does anyone have a technical sheet for a 5M42 A?

Have you checked on the website (thewatchsite.com) that watchweasol indicate before? There is a topic dedicated to a large collection of service sheets. 

In general, when it comes to watch documents and parts, if something is not found by a google search, it is not available at all.
