Thanks Greg, I didn't think to ask if they may have been correct in the late 60's or not.
I have actually just come back from the supplier, as the 5306 is thicker than the one that came out of it. The bearing carrier is 4mm below the top of the bearing. I didn't bring the gear that goes on next with me to see if there will be any issues or not. The only thing I can think of is that there will not be much thread sticking out for the nut. If that is the case, I will recess the top of the gear to suit.
It turns out that the bearing that came out of it was a single race radial bearing and certainly not suited to the application. The shop can get me a dual race bearing of the same thickness but he has advised me to try and make the 5306 work first, as it is a dual race angular contact bearing, where the other one will be a dual race radial bearing.
