Are 1/72 and 20mm figures the same? |

Buy some of each and compare them.
I cannot tell you if they are "compatible". That's your decision, not mine. Some people solve the "problem" by putting them in different units. I ran an FIW skirmish game once upon a time with 12 different manufacturers. Nobody complained. |

It depends on the manufacturer, but the height is approximately the the same. 1/72 plastics, however, are slimmer and have more realistic proportions. |

Even different plastic manufacturers aren't strictly compatible – Zvezda Vs HaT – & niether are metal manufacturers.

"TMP link Figures here include Strelets' plastics, Hinton Hunt & Tumbling Dice metals. Thinner, taller, stockier. Can *you* live with it? Some people can't. I can. |

Wrt the OP. Sometimes. 20mm isn't really a scale, more of an aspiration. |
