The 22W one is 210mm in diameter - close enough if the clips in Mikes lamp are adjustable slightly, but it looks a bit 'fat'. That Type Number doesn't exist on Crompton's website, implying that these are NOS, but the two current 210mm tubes they do have a tube diameter of 29mm!
Looking for these circular tubes is a bit of a minefield, in my experience. I wanted one for an Aldiddle up-lighter about 5 or 6 years ago and, although I ploughed through lots of listings, every time I found one with correct diameter and tube size, they always had the connector on the outside, like Mike's, whereas I needed one with the connector on the inside.
As the other half of the connector was part of the sprung centre arm that both connected the tube and also supported it, there was no way I could move it to the outside!
The strange thing was that I could find the type of tube I wanted in any other size with the correct connector but not the one I wanted! I gave up in the end.
