OK, I know more than one person who has put the PZ1 (or PZ1p) into the MX,
while I know no one having done the other way round, hence I cannot assure
it's possible.
I've been told (since I haven't done that) the difference between the MX and
the PZ1p should exceed 1 stop, probably somewhere around 1.5 stops, but
again I'm relaying someone else's info, unchecked by me.

Yes, all Pentax 35mm SLR interchangeable screens are mechanically
compatible.
