Well, I finally cracked the case of the make/model of the clockwork motor in the 'Charge Play' park-o-mat; While examining the parts again I found the word 'VIGOR W211' stamped just above the axle port on the motor casing.

VIGOR Toys is a clockwork motor manufacturer based out of China who make various specialised motor designs. The only trouble I have thus-far is that the model W211 on their website comes in 3 variants [A,B & C], and while it is the correct shape and size motor, uses a winding knob rather than being a pull-back design, which is odd, and of course doesn't work with the park-o-mat. 

Needless to say, I'm really glad to finally find where I may be able to get one of these, I'm now just hoping that if I find the right one, VIGOR will be able to send me a few directly - They appear to sell directly to the trade in bulk, but maybe I'll be lucky and be able to get a small order.

EDIT - YES!!!! I found VIGOR on Alibaba, meaning I should be able to order a small-run of motors as a 'sample' and therefore source a like-for-like replacement. The issue now is seeing if they make a variant of the W211 as a pull-back or not.
