Jeff, The original Reg. transister was #198752 which had the same baseing as the original transister in the set. The last few times I've ordered the #198752 my distributor has said this transister now subs to a #185197. There is instructions in with the #185197 that tells you it may be based differently. I believe instead of E-B-C the new one is E-C-B, so in answer to your question you do have to change the leads. I just slip a piece of heat shrink tubing on to one of the leads to make sure they don't touch one another.
