The 265rx had the black sem unit, this was also used on the 480/298/2100/2101.

Mine's  a 1954 165r will the later unit fit?

1954???????? Bloody hell, I guess this is a typo? it may well be the same unit , you will need to remove the flywheel to check which unit it has, many 165s did have the sem unit, it will have sem on the flywheel.

I don't know about the 165rx as I only had the one 165r and then moved on to little Husky 240s, I still have one. I then went for Stihl  FS380 which is the one I mainly use with a shredder blade.
