No; the hole in the top fork cone locknut will have to be enlarged (reamed out) to accommodate the 22.2mm quill, but it's a 25.4mm (1") headset for both the old fork's steerer and the new fork's steerer. The only difference should be the wall thickness of the steerer tube (the original Le Tour fork has thicker walls and takes a 21.1mm quill stem while the replacement fork's steerer tube has thinner 1.5mm walls). You'll want to use the fork cone from the old fork.
