Yeah you can, steel mudguard are a touch thinner and extremely stiff, I run 42mm on a 50mm mudguard (the Oak) and it work flawlessly.
If you're happy tweaking it carefully and measuring it, go on.

Cheers.
I've just chucked my SKS chromoplastics on for now. Mounting as a bit of a farce with the pannier rack getting in the way of the rear stays so happy to be bodging with old guards, once I figure out a better solution I'll replace.
Wondering though, on a frame with track endsm re metal guards going to be stiffer than plastic and therefor make wheel removal more of a pain? I imagine they'll be stiffer...

Blurb says 40mm will fit tyres upto 32. You think I'll manage to squeeze the 35s through em?
