If the MAF does not have the same characteristics (voltage output per air mass flow) as the one fitted then your fuel and spark calculations will be wrong.

I doubt whether another Escort model's MAF will be anywhere near the same as the ST Escort.

correct, i've seen a 1.8 zetec fitted with the wrong airflow meter, it didn't bring it up as a fault code but caused lots of problems.
