Replacement freehub body for Shimano 5501

As the title suggests, I have some VGC wheels with almost no wear on the rims, but the freehub body is grumbling. I know that these hubs (5500, 5501) shared the same freehub body as 4400 and 3300, but I can't find a suitable modern replacement.

The part is Shimano y-32x 98040 and looks the same as the other 3 billion similar-but-not-quite-the-same parts Shimano has made over the last 30 years (I genuinely cannot understand why they do this).

Anyone know of a part that fits?
Muchos Gracias
 
The freehub for that hub is a bit longer than most other 8/9/10 speed freehubs, so you need to get the right one.
