Mostly. Probably some differences in the very low and very high. Will depend on the model of the instrument, especially in the very low.

I hardly know the fingerings on all basses and contraaltos. It's a matter of getting the horn and seeing which levers do what.

I own a Selmer 40 Rosewood Contra-alto, which is similar to the Selmer 1440, and the fingerings are the same as on my Leblanc 430 Bass Clarinet, except the bass is a low C model and the contra is a low Eb. Also there is no altissimo hole on the contra.
