Not entirely sure if this applies to the 2019 model, since I haven't been able to test on one - but I know for the 2015s, using a different model LCD will be seen as an external monitor - which should make no difference in performance or resolution - unless you had a mid 2015 machine (would display 4k on 27").
But with a different model LCD on 2019, you might not be able to get 5k resolution on any external monitor you connect through TB3. Only a theory, since again - I haven't been able to test this on a 2019.

Answer to my own question, LM270QQ1 SD C1 from iMac 2017 works very well in iMac 2019 which has originally LM270QQ1 SD E1.
2019 27” lcd will work on a 2017 27” iMac.
The backlight cable might be a bit of a squeeze to fit inside properly as it’s positioned a little bit differently on the 2019 model - however it will fit.
I read something about colour and brightness Will be a little diferent…can you confirm that? True tone is important to me…
