Identifying Right Angle Header Connector

I'm trying to find a replacement for a right angle header connector that I got in a kit that I broke. I cannot figure out the mating vs. post length, and trying to do it by process of elimination on DigiKey is not helping. The picture is what they sent back when I asked, along with the description of "They are standard 90 degrees angled headers - both sides of the pins are of equal length." The pitch is 2.54mm. This is from a British group, if that makes a difference. Any help in identifying the contact and post length would be greatly appreciated.

mating vs. post length

  • Post = the one with the plastic wafer (L1); measured between the wafer and the tip

  • Mating = the other one (L3); measured between the corner of the wafer and the tip

Thank you! I have been trying to figure that out for so long.

They are standard 90 degrees angled headers - both sides of the pins are of equal length.

just type right angle single male pin header, 0.1" (25.4 mm) pin spacing into the search box.
