Its on the bell housing behind the passenger side bank (RHD car). The sensor connects in the module coffin onto the ECU (in front of the passenger side of the windscreen).

It appears there are several different types but yes that part number is one of the types (item 20 on the diagram).

Item 5 is also listed as TDC sensor confusingly.
