Bessa II clamp on accessory shoe

Does anybody here know for sure the original Voigtländer item number for the clamp on accessory shoe for the Bessa II? If it is the same one that is used for the Vito III and the Prominent, that would be the 333/88. I have been searching the Internet, but couldn't find anything in that direction. I have a similar clamp on shoe for the early Vito II (333/23) but I won't fit the Bessa.
I know these are very hard to find but I would still try my luck. There is a local camera fair coming up and I made a very lucky find at the same event last year, so it would be great to know the product code or at least its appearance, when going through the boxes with all the small parts...
Thanks,
John

the answer

I was lucky enough to find a cheap (well, relatively) Vito iii with the 333/88 attached and I can now confirm that it will indeed also fit the Bessa II. I have no clue if there was a another (slightly different) accessory shoe specifically for the Bessa II, but the 333/88 seems to fit well enough for me. I just have to think of a way how to mount it on the Bessa without scratching it (the Vito is already scratched).
