That's a very close match size wise. There aren't any markings on
it at all. The legs don't look like they've been broken and can't see
any sign of them having been soldered. Didn't pull the board
completely out of the supply but looking at it I can't see any thing
the looks like it is missing.

I'll take it out and go over it carefully and see if I locate anything
missing.

Don't think so, doesn't look like enough room for it on that side of
the PCB given the casing.
Maybe I'll try taking a picture of the piece and placing it on my web
site for those here who can deal with the images. I seem to have
good luck with that tactic when it comes to IDing something.
