    Thanks Craig, while I don’t doubt your experience or knowledge, I’d like a bit more than “should be”.
    I mean, are or were they originally intended to be same ?

    I have a dhc coupe here and it looks the same as a fhc that just left. Also they only list one part number on Moss motors for the models

    Thanks again. Do you know if the part number is a “factory”/OEM or something a vendor came up with ?

    So we don't know if "BDxxxxx" numbering system typical of +/-1960 Jaguar OEM parts listings ?
    It's just that, more often than not I've seen many online suppliers of vintage parts having their own numbering systems (often just copied from other vendors or suppliers) and most may not actually have any idea what, if anything, the parts they hawk fit, if at all.
    I have a fairly comprehensive OEM parts book and service manual library for cars I've worked on over the decades, but none for Jaguars, and just want to be sure before proceeding.
