Apple IIC+ OH NOES! My internal floppy eject mechanism has failed. I had to remove the little motor assembly that pushes the internal eject lever, and now I push that manually when I want to remove a floppy. (I push the eject button, which is wired to the motherboard, wait a moment, then push the mechanical lever to physically eject the disk) The motor assembly has a gear that has disintegrated.

Are you sure they're different? They might be similar enough honestly.

Here's a IIC + drive

And here's an 800k mac floppy.

I don't have any spare 800k drives lying around to compare. But here's more photos of a IIC+ drive.

Worst case just pop open the auto eject mechanism and take a look. It already doesn't work.
