Please can you confirm what is the correct MAF sensor for Micra K11, year 1997?

Hi, I have some issues with MAF / throttle body and so ordered a new MAF via eBay to have it replaced in a service. However they told me that:

1) They cannot get inside the throttle body because it is sealed (not sure why they could not simply unseal it? They said that later models have some sort of access opening or the like. I have the type as shown on bottom pictures here: http://www.nissanclub.cz/graphics/msgboard/44283/full/vv3.jpg )

2) Most importantly my MAF sensor would not fit, being allegedly bigger than needed; I have this piece - http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqQOKiIE3DzvZS2IBN1z(dI,Pw~~0_12.JPG
- please can anyone confirm it is or it is not the right one, or even better tell me the correct dimensions of the right one for Micra K11 so I can compare with what I have?

Thank you!

OK frank thanks, so basically if the ebay seller promotes this as

NEW NISSAN MICRA AIR FLOW MASS METER SENSOR
Car: Nissan Micra
Bosh Part Number: 0280 218 040
NISSAN - MICRA (K11) 1.0 i 16V 08/92 to 09/00

they are mystifying (to say the least) as for the given years the MAF cannot be replaced?
