Part number question - 1966 Kiekhaefer Merc 200 20HP 2 blade prop

[pikefisher]

After resurrecting our old family motor and screaming along like she did back in the early '70s her prop spun. So hunting a replacement. My spun prop has this part # (48-334801 1,1 PROPELLER ASSEMBLY(2 BLADE - ALUMINUM - 11"PITCH). All props I've seen always start with 48- I've found the exact same part number for a prop that appears identical but it starts with 38- (38-33480-1) I'm pretty sure that the 2 digit number is the parts group. I can't find any reference to any 38- parts of any kind. In the Ebay picture it is clearly a 38 not a 48. Will this prop work for me? thanks for any help.

That doesn't look like a Mercury part number, it may be an aftermarket prop which may work but not sure.

thanks.. I'm starting to think it was a rare typesetting error for the punch that made the p/n markings on the castings
