Default Aftermarket radiator identification for 1.6L civic

So I had to change my thermostat and in the process needed to drain my radiator, long story short the drain plug (plastic petcock thing) wouldn’t come out and by the time I removed it the thing was destroyed. I went to buy a new drain plug and found out it doesn’t fit because my radiator is not the original OEM one and for some reason the thing is not labeled at all and I can’t seem to figure out who makes the radiator of model it is. I need to know the radiator so that I can maybe have a chance of finding this weird drain plug. I will link pictures of the radiator and the destroyed drain plug and hopefully someone else can identify either of them.





this last picture is the broken plug and the one before it is the only numbers/letters on the radiator. Hopefully someone knows something and thanks for the help

While i cant help you identify the rad i will say if it were me i would just get a new ebay all aluminum duel core rad and call it a day. You will have a petcock that fits and wont have to worry about that plastic rad cracking which they tend to do. I guess since it looks like its for an automatic you would need an oil cooler aswell but they also pretty cheap. Idk just an option to consider.
