Well to be honest it really depends on where the whales are at. If you look at the range the species covers it more or less spans the entire world. So in other words the whales up around Alaska are going to have a different diet than the whales that run the waters around Iceland. On top of that they have found that there are whales that tend to remain only in deep open water and others that hang close to shore, again diet would be very different. I believe they are even trying to figure out of they are subspecies of one another since there are other differences between them.
When push comes to shove the main diet of Orca revolves around fish (salmon, toothfish, herring etc) but also loves to dip into seals and whales. Because they tend to be an apex pred they can more or less eat anything they want.
But as far as exactly which species, it would depend on the area of whales you were looking at.
