Important $E2$ contributions to the $(e,e^{\prime})$ cross sections of low-lying orbital $M1$ excitations are found in heavy deformed nuclei, arising from the small energy separation between the two excitations with $I^{\pi}K = 2^+1$ and 1$^+1$, respectively. They are studied microscopically in QRPA using DWBA. The accompanying $E2$ response is negligible at small momentum transfer $q$ but contributes substantially to the cross sections measured at $\theta = 165 ^{\circ}$ for $0.6 < q_{\rm eff} < 0.9$ fm$^{-1}$ ($40 \le E_i \le 70$ MeV) and leads to a very good agreement with experiment. The electric response is of longitudinal $C2$ type for $\theta \le 175 ^{\circ}$ but becomes almost purely transverse $E2$ for larger backward angles. The transverse $E2$ response remains comparable with the $M1$ response for $q_{\rm eff} > 1.2$ fm$^{-1}$ ($E_i > 100$ MeV) and even dominant for $E_i > 200$ MeV. This happens even at large backward angles $\theta > 175 ^{\circ}$, where the $M1$ dominance is limited to the lower $q$ region.
