Are the Trijicon RMR and Docter / Noblex compatible?

Not cross-compatible. The Trijicon RMR and Docter / Noblex are distinct footprints — an optic built for one won’t sit on a slide cut for the other without a dedicated adapter plate (where one exists). Buy the optic that matches your slide’s cut, or a plate that converts it.
