I've had to figure these things out to the point of drawing a picture of the equipment, then perusing service manuals back at the office. Nowadays I take a picture of a unit, then hit the books or even go so far as to email the picture to a tech support rep of the suspected manufacturer.

Here's Imperial manuals. Part number is in there:

Here's something for future reference, although it's an old list and also doesn't list Imperial convection ovens:

Don't know your logistics situation but if you google "restaurant equipment parts" something's bound to be there that you can use. I order all my parts through my company so I don't go shopping much.
