Welcome to the Phorum!
I don't know what the difference is between the two lamp sockets but suspect the new one might have a capacitance incorporated into it. The capacitor would be across pilot lamp leads at resistor 48 (the 8 looks like an S on the schematic seen at https://philcoradio.com/library/download...20Book.pdf ).
I did look in the 1942 parts catalog that we have in the library but did not see those lamp sockets listed.
