AFIAK you can. It's what a Hasselblad uses or used to use, if I'm not
mistaken. I think 120 film is interchangable, but maybe not in all cameras.

120 and 620 film were the same size width, length and thickness. The only
difference was the shape of the spools. The 620 spool had a very thin core
and slim ends. The 120 spool had a thicker core and fatter ends. The 620
spool and film together made a more compact package than a spool of 120.
