I cant find any exact matches, but based on this threads photo:-

I would hazard a guess that the PJ-322 part could be adapted to work. There are plenty of sellers on alixpress, like this:-

It looks like the main differences are the missing plastic side mounts (Replace with plastic washers epoxied to PCB?) and the original part has the front legs offset from the back legs, so some bending with pliers will be necessary.

*Note* I haven't tested this or checked the dimensions - this is purely a guess on a part which I thought might work. It would be better if someone could measure the hole dimensions from the original PCB and check them against the dimensions for the PJ-322:-

...Alternatively perhaps someone could design a replacement PCB?

I think I have a small pile of these PCBs. Let me check what I've got, and if I do it's yours for the price of shipping.
