IIRC, yes. The first one is a waterblock/prefilter (bowl on the bottom is to see if there is water in the filter) and the second is the regular filter (which the return line from the injectors tees into IIRC).

I think so... Its been 5+ years since he sold that tractor and more since I wrenched on it, but I am fairly certain that the fuel filters were both the same shape and the filters might have even been interchangable.

I believe that they were on his tractor (which had a 50ish HP Perkins Diesel), but as I said, its been a while.

so Aaron when I replace the filter with the bowl, I take it apart and do I pour out liquid out of bowl. or leave it full ?.. is it diesel in the bowl?

Its diesel in the bowl and I would pour it out. I don't remember if the bottom comes off of the bowl or not (ie: is the "bowl" just a "ring" that the bottom seals against. If it doesn't come off, I would refill it. If it does, I would let the fuel system refill it after you button things back up.

Here is someone changing the fuel filters on a MF 35 Deluxe. IIRC, the procedure was the same on Dad's tractor:
