To quote the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha Developers:

Q: Will you make LA on CoP engine?
A: No. :) LA is based on SoC engine, which makes it truely atmospheric, and
memorable.

I tried out the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat. This appears to have a newer
Xray renderer engine than that used in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha never exposes a DirectX 11.0 renderer option in the
main menu... Whereas I can get S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat to do so.

Set to the DirectX 10 renderer - the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat Xray
Engine crashes immediately on launch.
Set to the DirectX 11 renderer - the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat gets to
some very messed up menus. Starting an actual game session crashes immediately.

I don't really think it's helpful, therefore, to think of these 2 games as
being interchangeable...
