Yes, the rule you posted (R39 A) allows this. What makes you think it wouldn't be legal?

This isn't required by the rules, but it's definitely good practice. Like a CIM, an FP can easily pull over 40 A, and you wouldn't want it to give out on you because it tripped the breaker. If you have an unusual application where you want to limit the current to 20 A and can take the risk of a breaker popping for a few seconds, then go ahead.
On a related tangent, note that <R48 A> requires that the Fisher-Price motor be powered by a Jaguar or Victor 884, but the window motors can also be powered by Spike relays.
