I suggest caution on the Mac's cable. Nothing against Mac's, I do buy parts from them.
It's the part number structure that makes me nervous. 2275 is a generic part number for brake cables of the era and the prefix C01T, 21, C01Q, C101W etc. define the year and model the part was first used on. An example of a long-lived part number is BB5783 (rear spring bumper used on F15A). The BB indicates it started being used on the BB trucks ~1932, well before CMPs existed and I've often seen them advertised on ebay as being for P series panel vans of the 1970s (no mention of earlier uses). 21T indicates 1942 truck. 21C 1942 pickup.
I would expect the 21C-2275 cable to be for a 1942 pickup truck. It might fit your application perfectly, be close enough or be significantly off. Just speculating now but it is also possible that parts developed in Canada and later adopted for US use were renumbered to avoid having the C prefix in the US system - I don't remember seeing it in US parts catalogs
