Spec for the switches is exactly the same (thread size, spanner size, terminal type and pressure). Only difference is one has a brand name shown and the other doesn't from what I can see.
Either should therefore be fine.

Do you mean;
The one you've taken off the engine uses a nut to secure the wire terminal onto the end of the switch, sort of like this:

Whereas the new switch you've bought has a male spade terminal sticking out the back of it?

That's not unusual I'm afraid. There's no guarantee these days, what kind of connector you'll get on the back of the switch.
You could see if they can check what type of connector is on the end of the other part number they stock but otherwise, as long as the switch fits apart from that, you'll need to change the crimp terminal on the wire to suit.

Those links you keep posting don't work.

Do you mean the one you removed has an end like this...

Where as the one you've ordered has a spade connection on the end?

Damn you Wurly!

EDIT:On re-reading, probably both our posts tell the full story - I reckon your screw type pic with my spade type pic?
