Pretty darn close to the same for a number of years in the 50's..heat and age cracks the epoxy skin. No big deal. Early TD's used a different coil, but most after that standard. All over the internet for $20, and the new ones will probably still work when you are pushing up daisy's..even if you are 20 years old..and live to a hundred..
