Those bearings are available and work just fine. Why do you want to switch? I have two sitting on my desk as paper weights. Mine are New Departure.

Whenever I need to replace Bearings like you are doing, I simply take the parts to me local Bearing Supplier, and they measure the ID, OD , Width and find the correct Tapered Roller Bearing to suit.
