IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A WINNER FOLKS! Many thanks to @lckstckn2smknbrls and @LDUBS for pointing me in the right direction.
It looks like OMC changed the part number in 93 but not the actual part. 0396605 and 0397189 are not listed as compatible parts but they show cross OEM instillation on every 15hp motor and under from '86-98 on marineengines.com. Palmer Power shows the 7189 as a replacement part for the 6605 as well. It figures that google would finally show me the correct answer once I had it figured out...
I'm going to order one and will update once it arrives an I can look them over side by side.
