I could be wrong here but, I believe that the Motherboard Cross Compatibility for the G900M is the G900F, G900H, G901F and G903F.
That's only regarding the Motherboard and should be validated further.
As far as any of the other parts, the Compatibility changes depending on the specific parts themselves.
Maybe another member here can provide some clarification for this.
Or you may be able to obtain some additional member guidance by asking on the following Q&A thread that's specific to the S5 in general.

That's the best I can help you with.

So you have an SM-G900R...
I, personally, would recommend/suggest that you check out the following form that's specific to the USCC (US Cellular) devices.
http://www.teamuscellular.com
The following area of that forum is dedicated to the G900R.
http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/408-samsung-galaxy-s5/
I don't normally suggest another forum though, the XDA Forum does have some threads/posts regarding the USCC S5 but, I believe that it's a bit limited and the above forum does have allot more information specific to this variant.
Good Luck!

How do I flash complete stock ROM on ATT Galaxy S5

Geek Squad screwed up upgrade on my Galaxy S5 and returnme phone on bootloader screen telling me to use recovery mode in Keys. I was completely stock before upgrade but it failed to do over the air and Samsung sent me to Best Buy which prompty screwed me over and sent me home.
All I want to do is to run latest official stock both bootloader and ROM from ATT. How do I do that?
