One of those links is a Koyo bearing (the other I think was another Japanese brand, but I bet with a bit more digging you could find the Koyo one). I'd be almost certain that the OE ones are Koyo, the wheel bearings certainly are.

So you're not buying a 'pattern' bearing. You're buying the same bearing, just not in a Yamaha box

TBH with any chassis/wheel bearings, if you buy something with the same code, making sure it's got the same seals if applicable, from *any* well known brand (SKF, FAG/INA, NTN, Koyo), it will be fine.
