Yes you can: they are both milk based--it should be fine.

Switching formulas: It is really not advisable to switch formula types back and forth at the risk of causing more feed intolerance. The types of formulas you mentioned are similar, but not identical, and the difference could mean loose stools, weight loss, and a longer length of stay if the baby is in the hispital
