Roka,
Yes, those are the models and it "should" fit.
Be aware that Remo makes only three sizes of bongo heads, 7 1/4, 8 1/2 and 9. (I think it makes a smaller macho but that is not a professional size).
Not all Remo heads fit perfectly with every brand regardeless if Remo or the company in question recommend or say it does. Yes, there is no 7 head like some companies make, nevertheless, the 7 1/4 could be used in machos that are 7.
Remo is going away from the 'crimlock" or original Fyberskins because with the modern comfort rims in the bongos there is a problem fitting those heads. There is a posiblity that with the tucked or heads with rings like natural heads, regardless if it is a tight fit or a big fit, the head will last longer and/or fit better.
IRemember these heads are made by Remo and not by the companies so they will not fit perfectly. If Remo or the company says that is what fits, then that's it. However, be aware of what I mentioned above that it might not fit perfectly. (By the way, Evans has an arrangment with LP and there heads are more tailored made than the Remos).
I hope this helps. Saludos!
