WE Candlestick Question

I'm interested in restoring WE candlestick phones.  I know that model 151AL is an anti-sidetone phone but if I had a 50AL phone and connected it to a 624 subset (anti-sidetone), would that allow the phone to be anti-sidetone?  I'm asking because it is very hard to find 151AL phones but there is an abundance of 50AL phones on ebay.  I don't want any phone that is sidetone and am only interested in anti-sidetone so I'm asking if these 50AL phones can be used as anti-sidetone.

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can provide.

Here is a thread about sidetone and anti-sidetone. It talks about B & D mounts, 102 & 202 but is pretty clear the subset and wiring, not the phone is the key.
