Maybe...but not using the histogram. The histogram only reports what it sees in the image, it doesn't affect anything. It's like a speedometer in a car: It doesn't change the car's speed, it only tells you how far it's going, and moving one car's speedometer reading to a second car does not make the second car go that fast.

To get what you want, try choosing Image > Adjustments > Match Color. It's designed to try and copy the appearance of another image. But it isn't perfect, so it might not work. More info:

Match colors: Match the color in different images  (Adobe Support)
