No, not without rewiring the Rogers tube socket to match. However a 1629 will plug right in and work, the pinout is very close, but the heater voltage is 12.6 volt rather then 6.3 volt, then again the phosphor of the target might live longer on 6.3 volts. Of course neither the Soviet 6E5C (S) or the 1629s have dual shadows like the 6X6s have, there was one American eye tube that did, and it was octal based, but unfortunately it needs a separate driver tube.
