Chinese hook for Juki LU-562 - incorrect manufacture or not compatible with Singer 211G156

Just started installing a new hook on my Singer 211G156.

First thing I noticed was the hook timing was way off, and the large gear could not be moved sideways enough to correct the timing.

I have not ran this machine yet so thought the timing must have been off when I purchased it, and I'm only just finding this out now. 
However, I pulled the new hook out and put it side by side with the original hook.
As can be seen in the pictures, the V-slot in the new Chinese (supposedly a CKPSMS) hook https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/262943436183 is in a completely different position.
I had to advance the small gear on the hook shaft one tooth to be able to time the hook.

So my big question is will a hook for a Juki LU-562 drop straight in to a Singer 211G156. Up to this point I'm under the impression the answer is yes, but am I wrong.
It will not be a big deal so long as the large gear is still fairly centrally aligned to the center of the hooks vertical shaft, i.e. I don't have to move it sideways too much to get the timing correct. I haven't fine tuned it yet but it seems to be OK in that regard.

Tomorrow I need to check the positioning of the eccentric on the Chinese hook and see if it's the same as the original hook. If that is way out of rotational position that's going to affect the timing of the case opener arm.
Looking at the photos it initially appears the eccentrics positions may be different but I'll check with a dial gauge.

Chinese hook is on the left and original hook on the right.
