My Magic Trackpad 2 looks different to the one iFixit?

HI folks, I'm attempting to replace the (discarded, swollen) battery of my Magic Trackpad 2, but (a) internally it doesn't look the same as [guide|51032|the one here|new_window=true] and (b) I can't figure out where the battery ''was'' attached before I safely discarded it.
(This was a magic trackpad 2 I was given for work, the battery of which swole during the pandemic, and which I offered to dispose of safely myself. I did this for the battery, but kept the rest of the electronics with the hope of replacing the battery!)
I've attached three photos of the model I have in front of me; isn't arranged like the internals of the [guide|51032|one currently on iFixit|new_window=true]!
My questions:
* Does anyone have a model that looks like mine?
* Does anyone have tips on how to attach a new battery? (I have an A1542, meant for a Magic Trackpad 2 that looks like the one on iFixit, so it may not work, but nonetheless!)
* Would anyone else be interested in seeing the ''different'' internals of this same-model-numbered device?
* Is it possible this is a knockoff? Or a corporate-only version??

The model number (A1535) and serial number (that doesn't seem valid with Apple?)
