Default Mono dedicated stylus?

So one of my favorite pressings as of recent is The Doors Strange Days RSD 2015 Mono release. I’m listening with Ortofon Quintet Black. My Technics arm has the easily removed headshell, so I am wondering how the Quintet Mono would perform. Both are 9g cartridge weight and 2.3g tracking force, and since they’re from the same series appear to have the same sized bodies which leafs me to believe it would be a straight swap with no adjustments needed to the tonearm. Output voltage and recommended loading are also the same so shouldn’t have to change any settings on the preamp either.

Assuming the above is correct, how will the mono cartridge perform on a mono recording vs. using the QB stereo cartridge to play the mono pressings? Is this even a true mono pressing or just identical tracks played on both L & R channels? Can someone with experience in mono recordings and cartridges tell me the basics I need to know and if I should be looking for a mono specific cartridge to swap out from time to time?
