I think the answer is yes if it is from the same type of car.
I got a set on instruments from a scrap yard and cb750chris set them to work in my car. Both diesels Rover 75's

T4 cannot reprogramme a second hand IPK, it must be returned to virgin state first of all.

Is it a message centre or a lowline IPK you need?

No it can't be done with T4, it requires the IPK to be opened up, the 9356S eeprom removed from the PCB and reprogrammed and reinstalled, then the IPK can be introduced to the car with T4.
