Yes sir...and kudos for going the correct and safe route for a conversion...not a half-assed barrel...it should slide together and function fine (make sure you use the .40 recoil spring assembly!) Label them somehow if needed
Not entirely, or at least I wouldn't think so.
I can't check for myself since I don't have both a 9mm and .40 USPc, but I would think that the ejector on the .40 frame should be different than the one on the 9mm.
This may change the ejection pattern, as well as make the converted pistol less reliable in the converted caliber, than the original caliber that it came it.

This...
The 9mm the .40s&w and the .357 SIG are identical frames ...the .45ACP frame is larger...
Also magazines may be an issue since the feed lips are different diameters and gaps--they shouldn't be cross platformed
I've read different. But I don't have any .40 cal mags to compare against my 9mm ones. Or is this just on the compact models?

9mm brass will physically fit inside a .40...if the feed lips were gapped for a .40 on 9mm magazines the spring wouldn't be able to maintain proper tension and result in misfeeds...likewise if you force .40s into a 9mm magazine it can lead to damage to the magazine...
The .40 and 357sig magazines are identical...which sometimes leads to confusion...

The devil is in the details...I have an overabundance of 'semi-useless' information and judging by my post counter I have made use of a good bit of it

Mhmmmmm.
Exactly, the 9mm rounds sit much higher in the lips. It does mostly work, though the incidence of misfeeds is definitely higher. However, I'd argue it works for range use. I've gone through multiple mags before with no issue, so it isn't like it's choking every third shot.

With .40 mags available on here all the time, It just makes more sense to score 1 or 2 .40 mags for .40 use...but I'm also a 'right tool for the job' type of guy....
Can someone with both a 9mm and .40/.357SIG caliber USPc check to see if they both use the same ejector?
I find it hard to believe that H&K would use the same one on both calibers. Since the ejector is molded into the frame, this would make the frames different if the ejectors are different.
Does H&K give the frames a part #? This may be another way to check.

See page 47 of the manual
One part number for all three frames - 9, 40, an 357
