The # L68149 bearing you mentioned is most commonly used with the # L44649 outer bearing, but it is sometimes used with the # LM67048 outer bearing, as well.

If you can't read the reference number of your outer inner bearing, you can always use a digital caliper to measure the diameter of the spindle where that bearing rides. If that diameter is abut 1.06, you'll need the L44649 bearing. If the diameter you get is about 1.25 inches, you'll need the # LM67048.

The # BK2-100 bearing kit is compatible with the L68149 and the L44649 bearings, which is the kit you'll likely need. If you have the # LM67048 outer bearing, no replacement kit exists, but you can obtain the parts separately. You'll need the LM74048 and the L68149 bearings, the 10-19 grease seal part # RG06-050, the # L68111 race, the # LM67010 race, the # 165649 cotter pins and the # 5-101 tang washer.
