I don't believe your gas/diesel observation is correct. As a case in point, the used 005 545 0532 that I just picked up came off a gasser but is exactly the right part.

Moreover, it is actually better, if you're going to pull a used amp, to get it from a gasser. Less vibration over its life (this acc. to Peter at GDL).
