Need help sourcing replacement navigation switch

Question

Can you find this 4 position miniature navigation switch from a Sony FS5 grip, It has three contacts this side and three on the back, and four ground plane points on the other adjacent sides. 
 
 This's all the information I have from a friend who needs a drop-in like for like replacement.

Found an AliExpress seller offering the whole flex assembly. No idea why my phone always loads their Arabic page though -

 Doesn't seem to give me much more to go on.

Might be hard finding an exact replacement! On aliexpress there are quite a few with three pins on each side so they might be compatible but no idea if the peg at the top would fit or could be modified slightly to make it fit. 
 Example below where if it were the same size then it could be possible to solder and then epoxy glue it to secure it perhaps!

We really need measurements, close-ups of the metal in case there are manufacturers logos stamped into it. Dimensions of the stem size and shape often help, as does more clarity regarding footprint (i.e. are any through-holes, or all SMD, shape of leads). 
 Closest I came is this:

 Maybe a variant from the company. But hard to tell.
