Basically if a part was made for a very early car and it fitted a modern car with no alterations to it the number would be the same. Same number = same part.
I do not think there should be another identical part in the system with a different part number, although I'm sure it could happen.
No argument, I just know it worked for me.
This is not to say others won't have a problem ......
