Latest UK CAA info here.

Subject to clarification as it is not exactly explicit - Bell identified equivalent Part number -> AB OK if same number and released on 8130-3. AB Part -> Bell NOT OK.

Please note parts produced by or for Leonardo (formally Agusta Westland) are not eligible for installation on Bell manufactured helicopters.
New parts produced by Bell, under their production approvals, can only be used on AB206 and AB412 civil registered aircraft if released on an FAA Form 8130-3 Airworthiness Approval Tag.
​​​​​​​So the actual risk would be the Bell version with Agusta parts fitted?
