Yes, the 86 quart was the standard cooler size now discontinued.
The 94 quart is the replacement. It is almost identical in size with the exception of the lid.
The lid is 2 inches taller.
I swapped lids between an 86 and a 94 quart cooler once just to see if they fit.
Each lid fit the other cooler perfectly including the hinge holes. Of course the latches in front were different but the lids themselves fit just fine.
