There are two versions of the 2015 21.5” iMacs the Non-Retina and the Retina 4K display version:
iMac 21.5" LCD Display Panel - Non-Retina - Apple P/N 661-02989 - LG Display: LM215WF3 (SD)(D5)
iMac 21.5" LCD Display Panel - Retina 4K - Apple P/N 661-02990 - LG Display: LM215UH1 (SD)(A1)
Now let’s look at the 2017 versions which likewise have two versions!:
iMac 21.5" LCD Display Panel - Non-Retina - Apple P/N 661-07321
iMac 21.5" LCD Display Panel - Retina 4K - Apple P/N 661-07322 - LG Display: LM215UH (SD)(B1)
From all indications the displays are not compatible either way.

I just installed a 2015 Non-Retina display on a 2017 Non-Retina imac and it works perfectly!
@pjvcc - The newer version display is a bit brighter.
