They look identical and I assumed the different part numbers were simply due to a different parts catalogue for marine products.

Hmmm.
I'm not 100% on this, but just thinking aloud.
Marine applications are different and rec/reg assemblies have different applications. Generally a marine application would use a deep cell battery for long power delivery to lights/radio/navigation/safety equipment (etc).
From experience of smaller boats, often they will run at low revs, especially if they are freshwater (where regulations on wake are often in force), so it may well be that this unit is for delivery of power from a generator that can deliver power at lower revs and therfore needs to protect more at higher revs. As I say, I'm just thinking alound and may be way off the point.
I suspect the two units are different, the crux is what it
was meant for, it could be a smaller engine where power isn't so important (inshore boats with battiers) or it could be a larger boat where power is more important. To really work out the difference you'd need to know it's original intention.
One thing is certain, the marine produce will be a much more robus unit with better moisture/salt protection.
I have to disagree with Stoic, the weak point on the Tenere is usually the big lump (sorry don't know the technical term) fixed between the seat and the handlebars.....
