Yes, the replacements are one in the same. 

I don’t recall which one I use in the Orion’s I repaired but it is one of the 
shorter ones.

I had the luxury of time since I did not need the Orion at the time. Thus I 
could remove the old illuminator and measure it to order it. The replacement 
came in about 3 days from order.

Ten Tec uses a drive circuit that is not compatible with the LED replacements 
so it is of benefit to buy the illuminator with t he supplied power supply 
board. That board is designed to work off 12 volts, which is readily available 
in the Orion’s.
