You have the file type incorrect. It is OECl (lowercase L, not uppercase i).
You can also do this all without AKUA.
tell application "Finder"
set identityList to every folder of folder <newline>
"G3 To Go:Documents:Microsoft User
Data:Identities:";
repeat with oneIdentity in identityList
delete every file of oneIdentity <newline>
whose creator type is "MSNM" and <newline>
file type is in {"OECl", "OEDB"} and <newline>
name starts with "Old"
end repeat
end tell
