The goal is to replace a plastic T5 tombstones has melted. The side 'wings' fold-in so it can be 'dropped-into' the fixture.

There are approximately 100+ tombstones and one has melted. Is there a clever technique to identify a suitable replacement part? Google & Amazon searches have not produced high confidence results.

Update

Replacement part purchased and successfully deployed: https://www.amazon.com/Leviton-13660-SWP-Fluorescent-Lampholder-Mounted/dp/B003AURQWW/

Next time I will purchase shunted, because I do not use single ended bulbs.

You just need a t5 tombstone, that looks like a tall one measure it and places like 1000 bulbs.com or other places have them, depending on quanties for less than a buck. Just make sure if shunted or non shunted you get the correct type, if you get non shunted you can always add a jumper if needed.
