I will crawl out on the "proverbial limb" and say no.
Why?
Physically the same does not mean that the standards involved will be workable.
Hopefully the standards will be backward compatible. So a device rated to perform at newer standards will end up working via older/slower standards.
Unless the motherboard can be made to support USB-c, one way or another, then your TB3 HDD will either not work or not work at the expected performance level.
