These are the only pictures I've ever found of the inner life of the Touch: http://diyparadise.com/blogs/2010/05/08/opened-up-the-squeezebox-touch/ There you'll also find instructions for how to open it up. I have no Touch, but the IR sensor is probably the little module at approximately top left on the first and second picture. Perhaps you could verify this by looking for a suitable hole on the front panel. I have no idea what the kind/make/model of the module is, though. You'll probably have to open the Touch up and see for yourself, but obviously there's no guarantee of finding a comprehensible marking anyway. Good luck!
