Question re: standing blocks for halyards on 1986 MKI

Hello,
I need to order new standing blocks for the halyards on my 1986 MKI (located at the base of the mast) and I’d prefer to do a replacement in-kind rather than have to modify mounting holes or hardware. However, I’m at home in NH and won’t be up to the boat (in Maine) again until late next week.  I don't have the specifics on the existing blocks so I'm reluctant to order new ones and then run into installation issues. Does anyone happen to know what they are?

And, although I'm inclined to install direct replacements, if anyone is of the opinion that I should replace them with something else please feel free to offer your thoughts.

Thanks,

I just replaced mine on my 1988 MK1.  Ordered Part Number F8022 from Catalina Direct "Halyard Lift Block Heavy Duty" $57.08 each.  They do have the non heavy duty for $46.67 each.
