Yep, the BN2 rear fender is the same for all healeys, except the BN1. 
Good luck... unfortunately I don't have one.

You can also buy them new, but apparently the new ones don't fit quite as well.

Why not just repair the one you have?  Get some repair panels from the
Kilmartins in OZ.  I  did this on my BJ8 a while back.  It looks
perfect.

Cheers,
