It won't work, Mike.
Let's look at yours again:

and now the eBay motor:
Notice how the shaft of the eBay clock is much longer (NO OFF-COLOR COMMENTS PLEASE).
Plus it looks like the minute hand would be a screw on type (?) or held in place with a nut.
I would keep looking.
It might be considered sacrilege by some, but another possibility would be one of those battery operated movements. Some are made with sweep second hand so you don't have that annoying tick-tick.
Whichever way you go, you will have to keep the shaft length in mind before purchasing a replacement motor. Too long and the hands will press against the glass or worse, you won't be able to put the motor into your GFC without breaking the glass.
