It certainly looks close but hard to say without placing them side by side for comparison. Before you condemn your switch, unscrew it from the transmission a few turns then do another continuity test across the terminals. If you get nothing replace the switch. If it works, try reinstalling it with an extra copper washer gasket.

I just replaced my reverse switch a month ago on my manual transmission. The end of the switch that goes into the transmission has a ball end on it instead of the slant that the one in the link has. I'm not saying it won't work, just saying there is a difference. I ordered my replacement from DMC and it works great.

It is correct.
