Yes, senders are specific to the gauge manufacturer. Use of the other supplier's sender will result in a gauge that works in reverse of the expected but it should still register. I used a Veglia sender with the Jaeger gauge in my '69 spider for several years before I got around to changing it out. The needle started out on the far right and went to the center when the pressure came up. I'm assuming things should work the same when sender and gauge suppliers are reversed. You could also use a voltmeter, I suppose.

My 66 GT indicates the oil pressure pegged to the right with no signal power applied. Can I use a voltmeter to monitor oil pressure on a first-start?
