Probably not without modification. The Amadeus is almost 2mm longer, the Silver Concerto almost 1.5 mm shorter. If the Silver Concerto is straight tuned, it won't go anyway.

I can't see any advantage in doing so in the first place.

Some of the CX-12 plates in the harmonicas I am repairing for Bill Barrett are chrome plated.
I think they were the early models, he got them before they were available to the public.

Sorry for the off topic.
Tom I've a question ; is known that you are an cx12 lover , and also I appreciate it a lot, but The mine has a huge problem with valves sticking and I would solve this problem... Do you have tried the new valves of hohner on it or have you tried the valve of Seydel on the CX12 ....
There are a huge quantity of posts on the valves and before to reading all the posts I want ask you about your experience...maybe I'll can skip the reading  :) .
Thanks in advance

Beats me.
I still have one of them here, but didn't measure it. I could, but am not sure I am going to.
I could ask someone . . .

I have some early cx12's and the plates are medium slot. When I sent to Hohner for single reeds, they sent me long slot reeds.  This is when I figured out that they changed the plates from medium to long.
