Shift Cable for 1963 Schwinn w/Sturmey Archer Shifter

Question

This is the shifter on my 1963-64 Schwinn Racer:

This is the old cable:

I'd like to replace the cable and found this:

It's hard to tell what the cable ends look like inside the packaging but is anyone familiar with this Schwinn part number and if it's compatible with my shifter? I know there are newer style cables with a loop connecting the adjusting nut (ferrule?) to the hub chain, but I'd like to find the older style if possible.
This is my bicycle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My bicycle is my best friend. :-)
