Default OE Radiator -- made by Modine?

Is the Modine radiator that carries a 951 part number the actual OE radiator or an equivalent? I thought that the original was made by Laengerer & Reich? Anyone buy a 951 radiator labeled "Modine" and have a problem? I don't feel like doing this job twice!

Isn't Behr OEM for radiators? L&R made the intercooler and oil cooler.

Behr was the original on mine, but the Modine fits perfect.

OEM and OE are different terms. Original Equipment from Manufacturer is the one your car was born with. Original Equipment is a part that meets the exact basic specs. There should be no assumption of quality in an OE part, other than the basic design and fitment.
