Default Proportioning valve:difference between RENIX and early HO years

Hi everyone!
I’m new here on the forum and I hope I’m posting in the right section.
I have a Cherokee xj 1988 Laredo with a 4.0L.
The previous owner eliminated the proportioning valve and swapped Brake Booster with one from (looks like) a different vehicle.
I’m now about to swap in (due to poor breaking power) a BB and MC from a grand Cherokee WJ i already got.
Because of the previous owner who eliminated the proportioning valve I’m now about to buy one coming from a 1995 Cherokee xj without ABS because it’s the closest one to me.
Do you think it would be compatible with my jeep or should I wait to find one for my year?
Thank you in advance for any suggestion.
G

It's compatible but there are other options, given the original one has been removed.

Hi Cruiser! Thank you so much for your answer.
What would you do in this situation?
I don’t think I will upgrade to discs from a zj before fall time if not even later, and when I will do it I’ve seen in another post you suggested to just swap the guts in the xj’s PV.
i thought this way could be neat, what would you suggest instead to have the best result?
Thank you for your help

95 prop valve would be good. Are the lines all butchered though?

I got all the lines from the GC WJ so with the soft parts it should be a bit easier. The previous owner messed around a bit with the lines so I will have to fix there and especially understand well what he did because he actually butchered them and made some weird turn that seems unnecessary to me. Also restoring the lines more or less to stock is also going to be better for future maintenance in case of necessity I was thinking.
I add a couple pics of the mess with the lines.
