Can a 2" Combination Pintle Hook Work With Both a 2" and 2 5/16" Coupler

Question

Question:

hello. If I have two 8000# trailers with 2-5/16 couplers and 2 trailers with a 2 inches couplers, can I keep the same Combination Pintle Hook with 2 Inch Ball with all my trailers ? I guess the pintle will prevent decoupling even though the all is 2 inches and the coupler is 2-5/16 ?
