Hardly any will work as NAI's SA core is totally modified for their SDK.
Those files are for their SA 2.6x core which IIRC is not used much 
anymore except on oldish devices.

You wouldn't be able to handle any their .lu /streamed rules.
Their fast_body stuff will also trip over your SA.
They're fun to look at and learn, but not apt to be used as drop-in for SA.
tho the secrets are in their .lu files :-)
