Escort mk1 1974 newbie

Hi everyone,

new to the site and looking for some advice please.

Happy new year to everyone,

So I managed to get my key stuck in the ignition barrel on my 1974 escort last week😂 and have tried everywhere I can think of to get a new assembly with very little luck.
The part number on mine is 70 ab 3675 a2e and have seen this on on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-GENUINE-FORD-ESCORT-Mk1-IGNITION-LOCK-SWITCH-70AB3675A1E-6000721-/252319890964?hash=item3abf6ffe14:g:7WkAAOSwjyVT0Plx  The only difference between the two is this one ends in "1e".
Before I splash out and regret it does anyone know if this one will fit and work or where I could get one?
Thanks in advance
