1989 780 Oil Temperature Sensor (Oil Drain Plug) Where to Find? 700 1989

I am trying to find a replacement oil drain plug for my 1989 780 (B280F). I thought I had the correct one from Volvo (part #1218360), but there appears to be some confusion/misinformation in Volvo parts info.

The plug I removed is labelled (in part with stamping on the socket end) VDO 801/4/31 which my online research says is Volvo cross reference 1324624-4. Volvo dealer says this part number is No Longer Available, and I have not been able to find a suitable replacement.

The 1218360 part I have has a hole in the "inboard" end and it looks more like some kind of pressure sensor moreso than temperature sensor. My gauge inside the 780 is for temperature.

I have been given an alternate part number from a supplier (1218190) but this looks like it too is designed to measure oil pressure and not temperature.

Would appreciate any help with those of you who have needed to replace this. Given its mounting location on the bottom of the oil pan, I suspect it gets knocked and broken regularly from parking lot blocks etc.

All help appreciated with where to find it!
