BDR Facet pump identification

This picture shows my old Facet pump and one I have had in stock for many years (ten of fifteen?). Question is, is what is the spec of the newer one? Indeed of the old one as a matter of interest. I am inclined to think it doesn't matter what the pressure is given it goes through a regulator where I can see my desired fuel pressure.Sound right? I gave up trying to disconnect the old pumo black wire (the 12v feed) so cut it and fitted a spade to match the newer pump so it makes no oddes which I refit. I removed it because yesterday when replacing the petrol hoses by hands became stained with a sort of black dye when petrol came out of what I now know is the inletchamber, so I figured must need a clean out but in fact practically nothing  in there except some small balck particles, so I am supposing the black dye was these particles slowly degarding. Now cleaned with an airliine. Is the tank full of black particles? Getting the wooden boot floor out is a project in itself I have yet to consider. The fuel filler is vertical in the boot and prevent removal of the floor; except by the looks of it if I remove the 50mm (?) filler hose. Petrol at the carburretors end looks clean.No black dye when I get that on my hands.I will dismantle the old regulator and see if that is full of anything unleasant. The old one looks bad because it was a rodent home for a few years.

That code on the newer one is e11*72/245*95/54*0536*01 and on a foot of the newer one 480 532E

With thanks to oldandrewe - newer one is good to replace the old.

Anthony, does the newer pump have a part number stamped on one of the mounting feet, probably 6 figures starting with 4 and followed by E.  Apparently current range do
