Appendix:
Battery Details.
One of them has flat pads at opposite ends for the connection (I have also seen it listed as 3LR51), the other uses small snaps, 1 at either end.
I think the confusion arises because they are both out of general production but are made by smaller companies using 3 × LR50 cells. Possibly one is the closest that that particular company gets to the other, Look at the details and decide which is the best fitment for your equipment.
