You potentially could make something work but I wouldn't. The RBK10 system is the dual band orbi and not the triband orbi.

Basically, forcing something to work (if you could get it) would make your system unstable, not roam properly, and the rbk10 devices would run much slower than the triband versions.
The satellites you can use?
rbs20
rbw30
rbs40
rbs40v
rbs50
rbs50y
these would all have the tri-band backhaul fo the rbk20 system and would be compatible.
