Have I got the wrong replacement plate? If so, what do I need to ask for?
If not, how do I wire up the new plate?

No, not necessarily, but you will have to wire it up a bit differently.
I am a bit worried about the current switch - I cant make out if its a
full 2 pole isolator, or a changeover with an extra common terminal.

What is written on the terminals please?


Thanks

Edward
