Yes they should. Likewise the newer cachemgr.cgi should work as well
with older Squid. The tool and Squid are explicitly being kept both
forward and backward compatible.


But be aware that cachemgr.cgi older than 3.5.17 may be vulnerable to
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2016_5.txt>- which means
they cannot safely handle some reports (as listed in the advisory).

And if you are talking *very* old CGI version maybe
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2012_1.txt> as well, which
is somewhat worse.
