The only other Mac to use the same 9500 PSU is the 8500. It will be marked Apple P/N 614-0038, but if ordering a replacement the service source spares P/N is 661-0923, not marked on PSU. All I see were built for Apple by Delta, P/N SMP-220DB, or Minebea, P/N AF000111. The worst one I ever saw had a dead decomposed mouse between 2 heatsinks. Its stomach was gone and it had stripped all ID off components in that area and etched a large recess into the PCB. Needless to say it wasn't repaired.
