Default 2013 GS350 F Sport Door Actuator Motor

Can someone confirm if this is the correct motor for the door actuator in my car? I found a DIY thread but got lost after scrolling through 80 pages and everyone had various year/model. Couldn't find anyone that had the right combo.

Motor:

Mabuchi FC 280PC-22125


Is the length of the shaft 10mm or 20mm, and is the shaft round or D shaped. Also is the "Nichibo" brand a knock off or is it just as good as Mabuchi? Sorry for the 21 questions. Just want to make sure I order the right motor before I crack the door panel open. Thanks!

Finally had a chance to take the door apart to look at the inter working of the door actuator. I went ahead and ordered a whole new actuator based on a recommendation of a fellow member due to the complexity of removing the plastic casing, etc. Lucky for me, with the 2013 GS350, the plastic casing is not welding together, it just snaps on. removing it was fairly easy. Speaking of easy, the plastic gear on the motor just slides off. No special tools required. Below are some photos of the rear right actuator and motor. Now that I know taking apart the actuator is simple, I will just buy the motor next time and swap that out.
