It's hard to tell for sure, but the photo looks right. I THINK they 
are selling the very same part from both locations. The description, 
however, shows that they're selling the same part for both Type 1 & 
3. They are different, because the direction of rotation (with 
respect to the brush spring) is different. Note also that they refer 
to a type 1 part number.

You might have to file the angled ramp on top of the brush to get it 
to work right. You just have to reverse the direction of the ramp.
