Short answer; yes, it will work. I don't think there are any differences between the two, but I could be wrong. The ratios may be different, but physically it is plug and play between the two.

The bronco II has a 2.9 I believe, and the Explorer has a 4.0, but the block is the same. The transmission and transfer case are both the same on the two. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure, but that should be right.

Got this from the ranger station: "Replacing a Manual Transmission with a different Manual Transmission:
All 2.8, 2.9, 4.0 V-6's and transmissions are the same. keep flywheel, bellhousing, pilot bearing, throughout bearing, clutch release mechanism(s), flexplate, torque converter with the transmission.
The only modification that will need to be done is to the floor plate. You can either cut it to fit the new shifter or you can remove the front seats and pull the carpet back to get to the (4) 8mm bolts that hold it on and swap in the one from your donor. All that may be left is to trim the carpet. If you take your time, the piece that you trim out can be used to replaced the gap it will leave behind the shifter."
It's talking about manual transmissions, but the bolt pattern is the same whether it's auto or manual...
