Copying compiled script logic between application sets

Question:  We have separate test and production environments for BPC.  When we update script logic, we validate and save it in the test environment first, then copy the lgf file to production and validate and save it the separately in production.  I know that validating and saving  it updates the lgx compiled version.

Can we just copy the lgx and lgf versions from our test environment to production and skip the step of validating and saving in production?  Would copying the lgx file take the place of the separate compile step in production?
