So, you're stuck with having to get the correct sensor.

Here's a helpful video:

Very helpful, thanks. I'll try to measure the signal voltage but it seems inductive type need a supply voltage so that may not be so simple, but I think it's worth a try to see if they're both in the same range.

Given the other comments I'm not expecting them to match up, but it's a fairly easy step to do anyway.
