Turn signal flasher

Hello! I currently have the dash apart to put another radio in my 300D, and decided to replace the turn signal/hazard flasher (the old one still works but is real quiet; I can't hear it with the engine running unless the ashtray's removed, and then only barely; so I'm guessing it'll fail before too long as I've been told on here that it's supposed to be loud). I looked on Fastlane, and the part they describe as it (I think; they call it an "impulse relay") is slightly different. I believe mine has 3 pins and one plastic alignment dowel; however, the one that Fastlane pictures has 4 pins and that dowel.

Is Fastlane's part an updated one, or what's up? AFAIK, the flasher that's in the car now is original; the part has a "Made in West Germany" sticker or something to that effect. I brough thte flasher into the parts shop at the dealer and they want $50 for it. Fastlane wants $26 for the part I described.

Thanks in advance!
