Brupacks Larger Malt

Does anyone know the specs on Brupacks Larger Malt? is it 2 Row?

I want to feed its details into Beersmith:

Brupacks say
"Lager malt is the British version of Pilsner malt. It is kilned at slightly higher temperatures, from 55°C to 82°C, and can be substituted for Pilsner malt if that is unavailable. Again, the inclusion of acid malt is desirable; Colour 3 EBC; Maximum Percentage 100%"

So I was going to use beer smiths Pilsner (2 Row) UK

Do you think this will be ok?

Beersmith has lager malt as a grain ingredient, why not just use that? It's how I added my 25Kg sack of lager malt anyway. Ah wait, it's possible mine got added when I went to the Beersmith website and downloaded the list of Fawcett grains as this is where mine came from. There is certainly a difference between lager malt and pilsner malt.

This is what it comes out with for lager malt :-
