They are the same, (Well at least as far as the Speccy & Archimedes is
concerned, dunno about the CBM640.

Computer end is a Phono plug (aka an RCA plug), TV end is a "TV Coax plug"

I would suggest looking around the house for a 2m TV downlead with
a coax plug both ends. I've managed to get away with pluging a coax plug
into the modulator output on a ZX Spectrum before now (same modulator
as the Beeb).
