From my limited experience with both variations, I would say, 'yes', they are compatible. 'Normal' kenyan sand boas are quite variable and I believe it is that variation in combination with the amelanistic gene that produces the differences in albinos you mentioned. It may be possible (starting to see some evidence) that the different variants can be selectively bred for via 'line-breeding'. Maybe someone with a little more experience with both types of albinos will chime in.....?
It is worth mentioning that there is a breeder (who will hopefully chime in) that has 'hypo' or possibly 'T-plus albino' kenyan sand boas that are likely not compatible, but appear to be inherited as a simple recessive trait.
