I need to replace the operator for both left & right anderson casement window. The strait arm operator looks correct. However, it has a different part number.

On the back of my operator it is stamped:
3
7198-17
Does this make a difference?

Yes, I believe you need the 39-150 and 39-151 style operator to replace your old Andersen operator. Just check that the arm on your original operator measures the same as the 8-3/8" arm (as measured in the product photo in our catalog). I believe yours does, but your pictures is not clear enough for me to be absolute certain about it.
