Moss lists them as two different part numbers, so I beleive they
are very different.
Most likely, the difference is simple but converting might not
be feasible. It's probably like a radio, one unit assumes the metal
case is positive with respect to the innards and is wired accordingly,
the other is negative.
The transmitter is probably wired backwards as well, if it uses
the distributor as ground for the infrared LED.
