When I started fitting these filter conversions, I went to the local motor
factors, looked at as many different filters as I could find. Most have the
same thread at the top, some have internal non-return valves, and there's
many different sizes. I chose one with the right thread, an internal
non-return valve and as large as I could fit into the space between the
engine block and the chassis.
Unfortunately I don't know what they fit! They are made for Bosch, though.
