    Found it in the 7.6 de-dupe admin guide:

    In NetBackup 7.6, Auto Image Replication is supported for the servers that run

    version 7.5.0.3 or higher. For lower versions to accept replications from 7.6, an

    Emergency Engineering Binary (EEB) for the 7.1 master server is required.

    Auto Image Replication is supported between the servers that run versions 7.1.0.x

    and 7.5.0.x. An exception occurs in certain versions, in which the replication of

    catalog backups may fail.

    For more information, refer to the following Technote:

I have seen other discussions in this forum when AIR replications started to fail after one of the servers was upgraded to 7.5 and the other was left on 7.1.

I cannot remember any documentation saying that versions need to be the same. 
You will probably know once you've tried...
