Yes: PCA analysis doesn't depend on the force field parameters which
were used in the underlying trajectory: it just analyzes the
fluctuations in coordinates. So, if all the stripped trajectories have
the same number of atoms (in the same order), you should be fine.

Of course, if the force fields differ in significant ways, it may be
difficult to interpret the results you obtain.
