CD Player Model wanted with Sanyo 15pin SF-P101N optical pickup (similar Shigaclone)

For the Lindemann "CD-1" and several others like
REVO CDP- 1R - Audiophyl
I need an easy cd player equipped with 15pin SF-P101N optical pickup from Sanyo for troubleshooting.

The Teac models CD-P1440R, CD-P1450, CD-P1820 and CD-P1850
uses the same optical pickup, but unfortunately the 16pin version.

The boom-box model Philips AZ1050 - go to
http://diagramas.diagramasde.com/audio/Philips AZ-1050,1055.pdf
uses exact the same 15 pin SANYO model, but this construction isn't service-friendly.

Who can give me advices ?
I have heard, NAD, Harman and Pioneer uses in several models the 15pin version but the informations about
CD-Player-DAC-Transport List
don't help me in this matter.

Here are some pics:

this is now an easy task.

I have heard, that there are several fakes of this optical pickup on the marked.
Is this true ?

Datasheets are here:

Under
索尼KSS-213C激光头代换三洋SF-P101N - 家电维修资料网
there are mentioned, that the KSS-213C from Sony is compatible.
Which of both has the best reliability ?
Thanks for an advice.

Indeed there are many versions of these Sanyo pickups and I myself have a great difficulties with sourcing them.
We have a trade supplier here in Australia called WES Components (and they have a retail arm called Wagner Electronics) which stock a lot of these.
The trouble is, that in the age of rationalising everything, they no longer have good buyers/storemen who know what they are doing and out of 4 different versions they used to have, they stock maybe 2 now and you get a random unit 🙂
Like you order a unit with 2 cable looms terminated with 8 pins and 6 pins and what arrives is one with 16pin socket and no wiring looms at all... Their explanation is that it is the same part number.
They only used to stock genuine units but now a lot of it looks the stuff from eBay.
My approach is:
Find a group of sellers on eBay which sell the laser you want and see their feedback. If one has a feedback that is close to 100% and they have sold 200+ of them, then I order one and try it. If it is good, I order 10 for stock and then I know they all will be good. Some of the units from WES for which I paid triple of what eBay sellers want did not wok at all...
