I don’t know what system that is , but I can answer the other question...
You can fit either early or late exhaust systems to with early or late water system engines , the fact is all the bolt on parts for all WBX 4cyl are interchangeable ( excluding the DF which has different size inlet manifold ports )
However fitting a late exhaust onto a early water system does involve very close margins on the waterpump / thermostat housing and port 2 , it fits , but it’s close . Obviously you would also need a silencer support bracket kit for the later silencer too .
But are you sure yours isn’t stainless ? With mild steel flanges ? Try a magnet test ( when it’s cold obviously)
