Infinitesimal gauge-invariance of the action functional in Lagrangian ODEs is equivalent to Killing-type equations, which are related to first integrals through Noether theorem. We discuss the structure of the solution set of two interpretations of Killing-type equations. In particular, we give an explicit solution formula for the ``on-flow'' interpretation. By means of these results, we study LRL (Laplace-Runge-Lenz) vector conservation for the Kepler problem, showing new solutions, in particular without gauge terms.
