How portable are well-trained models to other videos of the same faces?

Suppose I have three videos:

  • A1: Good collection of expressions/angles/lighting, for face A

  • B: Good collection of expressions/angles/lighting, for face B

  • A2: Some other video of face A, similar quality to A1

If I train a model to swap B's face onto A1, can I then use that same model to swap B's face onto A2, with okay-ish results?

I figure, assuming A1 and A2 are similar enough in quality and angles, that it ought to work, seeing as there's talk of extracting alignments "for convert" and "for training" (i.e. alignment data for training is a subset of alignment data used for convert, and will have to render faces it's never seen before when converting).

Don't mind me, I found my answer in the best practices guide. That Harrison Ford/Nick Cage example with pulling from multiple movies is exactly my example.
