Hi Mr. RJ. Is that RK27112MC, do you know where I can get complete datasheet? Can the little nudge be removed easy? The nudge on the original one is below the shaft just above the contacts.
it's soft metal (zinc) you can remove it with a file or a small hacksaw.
you could even snap it off with pliers but it may take a chunk of the base with it.

The original might be a custom pot, as for the nudge/lug, you could drill a small hole for the new pot's nudge/lug location
From what I can see the pinout is the correct order only that the distance from back mount for the gear assembly to the front pot mount is 21.5mm on the original and 30.5mm on the new one. Dont know how will that look like when mounted.
Being out of soft metal in the base as Mr STJ says, how well will these pots handle stress from cutting and drilling in their shaft? I˙ve found an original type but with 30mm shaft in China.
It looks like your original pot has the second wafer mounted closer to the motor end on the shaft so check the distance from the front wafer to the gear mount, it may only be the second wafer that is in the wrong position.
it looks like the distance between the front and rear pot wafer is different
