You're welcome. Yes, that would work.

When you upgrade the memory in your Mac Pro (Late 2013) it must meet these requirements.

1866 MHz DDR3 full length DIMM. Mixing memory speeds is not recommended.

Error-correcting code (ECC).

4GB, 8GB, or 16 GB DIMMs.

Unbuffered (UDIMM) or Registered (RDIMM). Do not mix UDIMMs and RDIMMs.

240 pin DIMM.

1.5 or 1.35 volts.

Use the same size memory modules across all slots to maximize performance.

DIMMs with heatsinks are not supported and may damage the DIMM mechanism.

The other modules need to be registed as well:

Important: All DIMMs must be 1866MHz DDR3 ECC compliant. The Mac Pro supports both unbuffered UDIMMs and registered RDIMMs, but it is important not to mix these two types of memory. Mixing UDIMMs and RDIMMs will result in a memory error tone when you turn on your computer.
