1.9 x 1.4 cm?? That's rediculous, it'd be the size of a postage stamp. Literally

Job-Done!
I've just purchased one for £8.47. Including delivery to North Scotland.
We shall see if it works?
Will I need to take the inners out of one of mine to allow it to work the Scorp?

The Scorpio does not respond to any other remote on the market so yes; you will need to remove the board and fit to the new case.
A few years ago, I bought quite a few remotes from the states to try them out (especially when New Scorpio ones were topping £100.00 each)
None worked!

Received today, Picture below.
As you can see it's totally different, the batteries are mounted differently and it has small plastic buttons instead of the rubber buttons of the original that you push to activate. However all is not lost. One can change the switches of the 'Mustang' fob over to the 'Scorpio' fob and then put the rubber insert from the Mustang around the Scorpio chip to get a more positive 'feel' to the activation.
The Mustang fob although the same size, is much thinner. It's second-hand and was absolutely 'Manky' so I wonder how long it will last anyway. But the 'Gal' prefers that her fob now says, 'Panic' (with a red button) rather than the boot motif. (or should that be 'Trunk'?)
Had it been new, it would be worth it to change for new inners. Mind you, the buttons have a much more positive feel.

Very interesting, thanks! Hadn't noticed the 'used' TBH.
When you say "thinner", you mean the plastic?

When I mention Thinner, I mean the unit overall is much thinner, notice the batteries are side-by-side.
