I have an older Dixie Pennsylvania flintlock made by Pedersoli which I was told has an "old style" lock. Parts availability is iffy now, and I am wondering if the "new style" locks will fit? If not, is there a replacement lock that may fit without too much trouble?

The L&R RPL lock is a much better lock than the Pedersoli.

I don't believe L&R makes an RPL for the Scout/Pennsylvania/Dixie Pa./Dixie Cub/Kentucky rifle or Ky. pistol lock. Those plus a few others, use the same lock pattern. Only the Frontier/Hatfield rifle is covered with the RPL #6.
As for denoting old vs. new lock, I would guess it refers to with or without stirrup. An older lock has the mainspring pushing down on the tumbler (hook of the tumbler, or whatever it is called :grin: ) like most locks. The newer ones I've seen has a stirrup pinned between tumbler and mainspring, the spring tip is below the tumbler, and pulls down on it.
I think (but would not swear on it) the lock plate is the same.
