Seems impossible. Even if the T20 doesn't have the same feature as the 
T32, where the secondary contacts don't come down unless there is a 
depression in the right place in the shoe, the secondary contacts on the 
E-1 are on the rear of the shoe, while those on OMs are on the front. No 
overlap I can see.

Does the E-1 fire other flashes? Has the shoe center contact been 
cleaned? Most common cause of no flash is dirty/filmy contacts, even if 
they don't look it.
