There's a Saab plate on the compressor, but there may be something else too. It's dark outside now (11 pm) - I'll have a look in the morning.

There are 2 wires coming out of the compressor housing - the blue one that goes via a small in-line connector (and is then clamped to the compressor body) to the clutch connector, and a red one that goes through a bigger in-line connector to another blue wire which goes into a black sheath then disappears forwards presumably into the rest of the harness. I guess that sounds more like the Seiko. The in-line connectors both have short banana-plug type contacts inside the housings.

The bare wire was poking out of the black clutch-connector moulding, at the bottom end (the blue wire goes into the top end).
The moulding was still in one piece (open on the connector side), but I think it had been hit quite hard by the belt, and the two pins that connect to the clutch were bent and loose, and the blue wire had been jammed between a bolt and the compressor housing.

I took off the grille to get a better view of the radiator, and there's nothing in front of the radiator/intercooler/condenser sandwich, just the normal radiator fan behind the radiator.
There's an empty space in front of what looks like an oil cooler (to the right of the sandwich), but that wouldn't be a good place for a fan that's to cool the condenser.
