The grounding type is used for the courtesy lights, the isolated type for 
the 'key in' warning buzzer.  You wouldn't be able to use the 'other' type 
without other wiring changes at least.  The correct type weren't available 
when I needed a pair some years ago, and the available alternative has a 
slightly larger diameter boss behind the mounting plate so the hole in the 
A-post needs filing out a little.  Other than that the alternatives were 
slightly more robust as the actual contact surfaces were shrouded a bit and 
not fully exposed as on the original type.  Moss are showing the grounded 
type as 131-611.
