I believe the difference between those two pistols is one is a manual safety and the other has a decocker, the same front or rear sight should fit either gun.
Best to just give them a  call or email to be certain...
Enjoy your new sights.

found the difference,the 75 compact steel frame uses the same dovetail cut as a full size 75b.

the pcr compact or compact d uses a different dovetail cut. sights will not interchange.

The PCR uses the same dovetail CUT as all the others but the difference is the PCR uses a reverse Novak style rear sight so you cannot put a PCR sight on a regular 75b. You can however put a regular 75B sight on a PCR and it will shoot POA just fine you will have a bare spot on the slide just ahead of the rear sight where that section was machined for the forward slant of the original PCR sight.
I had a set of regular 75B sights on my PCR for several years until they started offering the PCR specific sight in the aftermarket.
