I would think not. 
Always expect to alter pipework when fitting a new rad.

there are some adjustable radiator valve tails used mainly were the rad is smaller that the gap between the pipes and various elbows. You may be able to figure something out.

Put sufficient ptfe on the male part toward the back such that when tightened it ios in the correct place and is tight. May take a few attempts, and a lot more ptfe than you expect. Of course hemp and boss white is better but not allowed on potable water.
