Can it be replaced directly?

No confirmed pin-compatible replacement is supported by the provided candidates.

Best replacement path

Use a 12MHz 3225 passive crystal matching 20pF CL, ESR, tolerance, and stability.

Main risk

Active CMOS oscillators need power and output routing, unlike the target crystal.
