I can replicate the results on ebay, searching for 07Z bring up both 07Z and 079. Looking at some aftermarket sensors they are listed as compatible with both 079 and 07Z and also 03G. The difference is 1 mounting hole on 079 and 2 holes on 07Z but since aftermarket parts are listed as compatible with both so electrically they should be the same. I am also not sure they are original Audi, they do have part number on but came without any packaging and were a bit cheap for OEM.

Not sure what to do now, if they were easily accessible under bonnet I would give them a try but considering the work involved I don't really want to mess around. But not doing them tomorrow would mean to wait till next weekend

This is the problem with ebay listings, a lot of sellers put in 'compatible' or similar numbers in their listing specifics to help them gain more exposure. If you are unsure, return them as you don't want to spend all that time and labour for them to be incorrect.
