It's impossible to say, based only on a brand and decade. Can you remove a roller from the door and take photos of it? That's the best way.

There's flange and no flange, and they are seperable by date.
81-098 fits doors made by the Pella Company from 1959 to 1996.
81-244 fits doors made by the Pella Company from somewhere around 1996 to present. The flange adds 3/16" to the height of the sides. It would appear that newer ones are mortised deeper into the frame. I don't know this for sure. A customer on your site made it sound like only the flange needed to be mortised to fit deeper not the entire hole for the roller.
According to one reviewer:
"My original rollers had the flange. The new rollers do not, but fit the door perfectly. "
