Default RST header tank

Quick question, I hope it's not too dumb....

I have an alloy expansion tank that is weaping from the top weld.
I assume it can be repaired by a local ally welder.
In the mean time will a standard CVH plastic tank from a braker do as a temporary measure or is there something specific about the RS item (like the pressure the cap is tested too)?
