When looking at the pic you sent the bulb on the left is a 555 and the one on the right is a 47 looks like which is usually engraved into the metal base. FYI 44’s are a little brighter, give off more heat and draw a little more current than 47’s which is why some like to use them over the 44’s which originally came with most pinball machines.
