The 6 cylinder caps fits and the rotors are the same.
How will this work? The advance curves are different between an 009 and the Porsche distributor. The sparks will arrive at different times. Unless you've modified them both to disable the mechanical advance?

Also, the 009 is known to be pretty sloppy, lots of timing scatter at high rpms. I've seen 3 or 4 degrees of scatter at just 4500 rpm on several different 009's I've tested.
