lambda/ oxygen sensor interchangability

My bike (07 695) has been having intermittent issues with sputtering to a stop. This mostly happens when the bike is already warm. I would be out riding around the city and all of a sudden following a pause and go at a yield or stop sign, the bike would sputter and cut off. The first 2 times, i let it sit for a bit, opened the tank thinking it might be air intake or something, and it started up again after 5 min or so. The last time it refused to start. But once it got to the shop it started again. I first thought it was the fuel pump/line starting to have intermittent issues. But after having a tech put it up on a lift and jiggle some wire around while it was running, we were able to replicate the problem---- he had it die on him while on the lift and got an error code for the O2 sensor apparently.

While this may only be part of the problem, I need to go ahead and fix it anyways. My question: are the lambda/oxygen sensors interchangable on most ducati monsters? Can i use one from a S2R or S4R or the newer 1100, 696, 796 etc on my 07 695?

Thanks for input.
