I took both locks out of stock and matched them up. Both striker end dimensions are fairly close in size. The plastic one has it's "nose" tapered down on the left side. I believe that's so that it will lock more easily. What you might need to do is to file down the metal 38-065 a little to help it lock into the keeper. That said, it does seem that they could be interchangeable with each other.
