As Wes said, short answer yes .
But be very wary of EBay sellers. There are a couple instances
where like you I found parts listed for the M38 and M38A1
and I knew that those specific parts were not the same for
each vehicle.
When I but something from EBay I look at the seller. Number of
transactions, feedback, but most important I look at the item
in detail. Photos are critical. No photo, I don't buy. Know
your part numbers as well.
In the case of brake cylinders reputable suppliers sell replacement
cylinders for a reasonable amount and you can rely upon them
to give you the right part.
Just my opinion.
