Shimano Chain-ring compatibility?

Is it the case that all Shimano chain-ring sizes can fit on all regular double crank chainsets?
I am running 53-39 but would like to upgrade to a 55-42 for monster speed and my road bike doubling as a TT bike. These rings may be of a different level such as Ultegra or Dura-ace...would that make any difference or is Shimano compatible across the range with all fittings but the materials and construction the difference?
If I bought these chain-rings seperately would they fit a a standard shimano 105 crank arm? Or if I just got one of the chain rings they would fit with the other existing ring? E.g. 39-55.
Would the derailleur be ok for that sort of size?

The chainrings are supposed to be matched to provide faster shifting. In reality, I doubt you'd notice.
