I don't think so this time. I went to the parts department with the receipt from when I purchased the resistors last year. The parts guy punched in the "B" number on his inventory system...the system responded that the number had now been replaced by the "D" number.

As I said, there is a major difference in the construction of the two resistors, and the date stamp on the part indicates an April mfg. date.
