I ordered a falcon rgh but due to certain circumstances I received a jasper, as I ordered the falcon I ordered a power supply for that console. What will happen if I use the falcon power supply on the jasper?

The power supplies are rated at different power limits (not different voltages) but that does not mean they necessarily operate with a different power usage. Yes, you can use older model bricks on newer model systems, but you cannot use newer bricks on older systems.
The connection is specifically designed to allow older bricks to be used while preventing newer bricks from even being plugged in.

So a 175w will be OK on a Jasper?

Should be absolutely fine. If the power demand of the console is less than the output of the power pack there's no problem.
If the console wants to draw more power than the power pack can supply that's when the problems start.

I use a 203w on my Jaspers from a Xenon with no issues. Like TTG said, it's going backwards when you have issues but the plug won't allow you to do so. You'll be fine.
