I tried the B2242042 PCU in an MPc5000 today. The black one needs the 2 end wires reversing as per using the D0292256 black units in the colours, but other than that it works fine. The colours are even easier - shave the connector down on the back and you're good to go!
This works out at a saving of roughly £30.00 per PCU for us. It also means that we only need to stock B2242042 PCUs and the black one for the new MPC5502!
The only word of warning that I would offer is that this has had fairly limited testing thus far.
