I'm not sure. They look awfully similar and I know these have saponins that can make soap. I bet they could be used interchangeably.

Could you please describe your method for boiling? I have mostly worked with pounded and scraped yucca, I've watched a video of a method for charring a variety from the southwest, but I haven't yet learned the boiling process. Thanks!
