Is IR receiver 5189-0959 Rev B equivalent to IR receiver 492936-001 Rev A?

Question

I have a IR receiver P/N 492936-001 Rev A.  It works with windows 7 and windows 8 and all 5 of my computers with TV cards.  I purchased several IR receivers, P/N 5189-0959 Rev B that were supposed to be equivalent.  They look almost identical.  The Rev A receiver has some clear plastic on part of the end.  The other cables appear much darker.  I believe the sensor is the slight round bulge on the end of the sensor.
  They will not work with any of 5 computers.  Both or these cables have a red cover on the plug and four connections on the plug.  These cables plug into the rear short panel on desktop machines that have a TV card installed and the rear panel with three jacks.  Two are black and one is red.  The black connections are for IR blasters to control other IR devices.
Are the two IR receivers compatible or do they have some wiring difference? 
I have used USB receivers with all of the computers and they work fine with all my remotes.
Has anyone used the  P/N 5189-0959 Rev B succesfully?

Thanks for your reply laloch. Just edited my lirc.fdi and did a reboot.
Anyway my remote still behaves like a keyboard. But:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/temp/91'
  info.ignore = true  (bool)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_14f1_8802'  (string)
  info.product = 'Ignored Device'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/ignored-device'  (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event4'  (string)
  input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_14f1_8802'  (string)
  input.product = 'cx88 IR (Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T'  (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event4'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.0/0000:01:07.2/rc/rc0/input4/event4'  (string)
Maybe I have to ignore something else? Full lshal here:
