The other is part#0 580 254 950

Car is 1988 420sel

Both pumps are the same, the 688070009 ish number is a date code or something like that. No idea what 014 is.

The pump will have a low amp draw if you test out of car since it isn't pushing against anything.

Do a amp draw test when everything is put back together, they should have about the same draw. Pumps generally fail in a no run mode, sometimes they shear the coupling between the motor and pumping element. In that case the amp draw will be low and motor speed fast.
