Balance transfer a money transfer balance

Afternoon all,

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I couldn't find the answer.

Main question: Is it possible to balance transfer a money transfer balance? Ie if one has a balance from a money transfer on a credit card, could one balance transfer it off onto another card?

Reason for asking is that I have a balance on an MBNA card made up of:
~£500 balance transfer on a 0% promo rate expiring next month
£1100 money transfer on a 3.9% annual promo rate that was done last month

Is it possible to BT the whole £1600? I've got a 0% NatWest BT card ready but I stupidly applied for it too early and the 3-month promo window expires before the £500 will start accruing interest, therefore if I BT £500 now then MBNA may allocate it to the interest-bearing balance, ie. the £1100.

If the answer to my main question is yes, then I'll just BT the whole £1600 onto the NW card.

Many thanks in anticipation of the usual high levels of help given by all the good people on the MSE forums.
