Radiator Replacement 940 2l Petrol - thermoswitch?

Over lockdown the radiator has developed a small leak, judging by the drips under the car and the rusty residue on the plastic side tanks (passenger side).

Looks a relatively straightforward job and it will provide the opportunity to finally do the coolant flush and replace the thermostat I've been meaning to do since February.

Just slightly stuck on which rad I need. I've measured it so I've got the dimensions nailed down but it looks like there are two versions - one with a thermoswitch, and one without. How do I know which one I need? 2l Petrol Manual, non-a/c, '92MY.

thermoswitch version: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSENS-C...UAAOSw6TRatcW5

non-thermoswitch version:

Coolant-wise I'm going to do a reverse flush. Looks like capacity is around 10l? So 5l of ethylene glycol and 5l of water?
