My driver's door latch is stuffed. The R' Bros site shows a replacement part but an alternative MG Rover part has the same part number with an 'A' added to the end. Can someone tell me are these the same parts?
ALR9782 [LR] vs ALR9782A [MG R].

Same parts but when brands split the part numbers were changed as part of that process

Often the Rover part is cheaper than the identical LR part, go figure?

I thought that would be the case.

It is cheaper by about £36 or nearly $59NZ.

Thanks for the responses
