Stihl piston in a Husky

Is it possible to use a Stihl piston in a Husky
Ok, this might sound like a foolish question, but I need to ask
it
I have a few 038 50mm piston assemblies with me. Is it possible
to use them in a Husky 372 or 365?
If the answer is yes, does it involve a whole lot of machining?
Two rings in a 372 would be very nice

I had a 038 mag piston in a 372 52mm. So I am sure there is a
way. Needed machine work if I recall on base etc of cylinder if
I recall. .
Had a 064 piston in a 372 52mm too. It was just widening pin
bosses in piston.
Later OE 372 pistons were 2 ring 50mm. As shown here in pic.

Thank you for the info,
Will take this up. I do have a 2 ring 372 piston sent to me as
a sample by the piston manufacturer here. I am saving it, want
to use the 038 50mm because we never got 038s here only the 380s
which had the 52mm piston. But our first personal chainsaw was a
038 M .
