LM108 vs LM308.. do they perform the same in a rat clone?

I just picked up a metal can LM108 from a local electronics shop. They informed me that the LM108 was just the military spec LM308.

I was wondering if I could use the LM108 and expect to get the classic rat tone,
or if the higher tolerance of the LM308's contributed to the sound of the rat?

Thanks!!

You should probably get approximately the same sound from the 108 as you would with a 308. I tried several different 308s recently, and even though there could maybe be some very subtle differences, they all sounded like a Rat. I'm sure, all other things being equal, you'll get the Rat sound.

I was given a rather large batch of these metal can 108's years ago. They work terriffic!
