contents For stochastic partial differential equations driven by Lévy noise, understanding when changes in the drift operator preserve the law of the solution is fundamental to filtering, control, and simulation. We extend law-equivalence results for Ornstein--Uhlenbeck (OU) processes from bounded drift operators to generators of $C_0$-semigroups (indeed analytic semigroups) on a separable Hilbert space. Our analysis separates the problem into two channels: a Gaussian component governed by a Hilbert--Schmidt perturbation condition, and a jump-drift component requiring a directional Cameron--Martin hypothesis. We establish that when the Gaussian noise is non-degenerate, these conditions characterise absolute continuity and equivalence of path laws on the Skorohod space. For purely jump noise, we prove a rigidity phenomenon: absolute continuity forces the processes to coincide. Specialising to sectorial elliptic generators with compound Poisson jumps, we provide explicit, verifiable conditions in terms of resolvent estimates and exponential moments. We also construct explicit counterexamples showing that the Cameron--Martin condition can fail, sometimes asymmetrically, yielding only one-sided absolute continuity.
