Hi Rob,
As i'm sure you are aware the original 240v 15w s.b.c pygmy bulb, caused many problems with the dial melting with the excessive heat the standard fitted mains pygmy lamps were 28mm diameter! and the heat generated caused the problem.
I think the smaller one had been fitted to get over this problem, so fitting the new larger one is just going to cause the original problem to be a risk again. Maybe ebay or a lighting dealer might stock the smaller 10w 240v s.b.c lamp or mod the holder to a SES and fit a fridge one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRIDGE-FREEZER-10W-LIGHT-BULB-E14-240V-SES-/310125269880?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Kitchen_Fridges_Freezers&hash=item4834e81378
