Spiral Balance parts and shoe

A quick learner from Kearny, NJ says:
I'm looking into purchasing the 27" Series 600 Tilt Spiral Balance. 5/8 diameter. The issue I'm having is that I'm trying to find the corresponding shoe, which I'm assuming is part 15-047 but it has a black cam, while the one I'm trying to replace has a blue cam. Does the color matter?

Bob from SWISCO responded:

If it's a blue cam, it's possible you have the 15-015 instead. Ultimately however, we can't say for sure without seeing the pivot shoe out of the window, as well as knowing its width and thickness. That should tell us what we need to know.
