Hi Richard,
I'm pretty sure they are the same thing, and the issue is mostly rounding (bear with me a second). The wheel studs that say they have a .54 generally have a .545. Technically, that should round up to .55, but not all do for one reason or another. So that was the long way of saying yes, you can use the Wheel Stud - Drive In 1/2" x 2-1/2" # 165995 with its .54" knurl on your hub with one that has a .55" knurl.
