MDD power supply identification

I have 2 power supply units from MDD G4 towers.
I understand that Apple replaced some PS's in the MDD series.
I'd like to know which, if either, might be the better unit.
One is an AcBel Customer ID:292 Rev:A
The other is a Samsung Apple P/N:614-0224

Is there some online source for identification of other original and replacement supplies for this model series?

Thanks,
Shamus

Hi Texas Mac man,

I had a PS fail issue last year, So after reading and searching, I fitted a Cheap windows PS into My old trusty MDD 1.25. It has been our office computer ever since churning away all day since, no problems.
this is how it began--
