I wish I had a YJ here to compare it with, then I could say for sure
because I have a GM one in the garage. A friend traded be a complete
harness for a full sized GM van for some work on his van and I used it
to replace all the rotted harness plugs and sockets when I rebuilt my
CJ7. The all are the same.

The full sized GM vans are common in the wreckers. If the case comes
apart in the same harness modules, the 'fuse' part of the box would swap
over easy.

I am thinking on inviting a friend with a YJ over on the weekend for a
BBQ, if it happens I will look.

What about companies like 'painless wiring' to name only one I can think
of at this moment? There are a couple out there that make replacement
harnesses, I would think they might sell just the fuse box.

Get one from a junkyard. You can take the terminals out to replace
your bad ones.
