5240 air filter part number

This is a stupid question but here goes. I can't figure out what the right air cleaner is for my tractor. I looked them up online before I went to buy any and came up with 59800-26110 (outer) and 3A111-19130 (inner) but the dealer says I need TD270-93230 (outer) and TD270-93220 (inner). That seems simple enough other than the filters the dealer says I need are about $100 more than what I came up with online. Now the part that confuses me is when I pull the filters out of the tractor the number on them is TD270-93231 & TD270-93221 (outer & inner) which is one number off what the dealer came up with. Anybody with a 5240 that has bought filters already that could help me out.
Thanks.

Not sure if this applies to your L5240 but I suspect it does. When I got filters for my L5740 - got spares when I purchased the tractor - they sat on the shelf until time to replace them. The dealer supplied parts wouldn't fit - too large. I called the dealer and talked to the owner's wife who was handling service parts that day. She knew right away what had happened. Because the air conditioner condenser takes up more space, there is a smaller air cleaner for cab models. She had the proper air cleaner elements sent immediately. I don't know why the parts man had made the mistake because I don't believe that non-cab L5740s are sold in a North America. Anyway I also saw the error on a tractor supplier's web site. The filter they showed for my tractor was the incorrect large size. The site did not show a difference between cab and open platform tractors.
