Default C5 variable effort steering actuator

Hello,
The variable effort steering actuator has a electric issue. I have an C5 1998 convertible.
I suppose all the steerig rack must be change.
I've find two references : 25065095 R2 and 26048322 R1. Do you know the difference between us ? Are they interchangeable ?

Thank you for your help.
