SLC 8x56 HD eyecups on SLC 15x56 HD (1 Viewer)

You can use the 8x56 eyecups on the 10x56 to get a bit more extension. Tenex has done that.
However there's no way you are going to need the large extension of the 8x56 eyecups on the 15x56, which only has 16 mm eye relief.
Fully extended they would severely limit the FoV.

All the SLC eyecups collapse the same way (only the internal slot differs) so they're interchangeable. There's several mm more depth between each which is normally enough for anyone who needs it, so 10x eyecups should be sufficient on the 15x, as I found 8x are on the 10x. And of course they're adjustable, so if full extension compromises FOV you can dial them down a bit.
That said, you'd be the first here to have this issue with the 15x56. (Even I don't.) Are you sure? Do you get blackouts when the fully extended eyecups are resting comfortably around your eyes, and find yourself holding them away?

Thanks for the information Tenex. No i don't get blackouts when the eyecups are fully extended and resting around my eyes. It's just curiosity on my part regarding the interchangeability of the eyecups between the different 56mm models.
