Yes.

Thanks Graham,
upon revisit i suppose my question was incomplete though and i
should have been more clear like...
can i substitute BL08 in BL02 place without
detriment/degradation/function /risk

Almost certainly yes.
As long as the part is physically compatible of course.

and is there any functional/operation reason one might *avoid*
sub-ing to the higher V rated BL08 ?
being an amateur i do not understand the possible impact to the
existing circuit or how the design decisiona are made beyond
meeting minimum requirements and cost ?

thanks again for help ,

At 50 /60 Hz or DC, there will be little or no risk in this
substitution, providing the parts are from the same series or mfr.
