Unlikely to be any issues - I've got a mix and match 1 1/8th straight headset and it's fine

Apart from the preload requirement that might be too different between the two to able to preload correctly?
There's no difference, mostly because I've never seen a numerical value for preload in any headset manual. The preload is tiny compared with the service load on the lower bearing in any case

Probably a stupid idea, but what are the potential issues with mixing two different headsets, meaning lower part (cup+crown race) from brand A and upper part (cup+top+top cap) from brand B? Apart from the preload requirement that might be too different between the two to able to preload correctly?
It is for 1 1/8 straight external ahead headset, nothing particularly weird
