Yes, but I think the problem is that you may be dating the mosaic law as only coming into affect at that time, those laws are eternally relevant.

So I would say that the Romans passage is preconversion work of the law, and the Hebrews passage is postconversion work of the law, both in the heart of man.

"You believe that the conscience and the laws written on their heart are the same thing?"Not exactly, but pretty close and very closely related. The law is God's standard. The conscience is man's God-given knowledge of right and wrong. The man's conscience recognizes (bears witness) that there is a standard in all mankind; some things are clearly good, some clearly evil. It is the conscience that understands the law. The conscience is internal, and the law is external. So the conscience recognizes the external law, and has the law's work (the working conscience) written into it.While the heart and the conscience have some differences, they are inseperable.
