Does anyone have the part number for this or know if the same part can be found on other models? I'm guessing maybe on a Berlingo or Partner hdi?

Ouch you have to be really careful when taking those pipes off, its always good to have a spare. Ive changed the filter loads of time on these and with a flat head screwdriver you can get these off really easy without putting any stress on it.

22mm socket to undo it, and two flat bladed screwdrivers to remove the pipes, gently lever it while pushing in the tab with the other screwdriver, that way it'll pop off as soon as you've released the tab and therefore you don't put too much stress on it.
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

As Jonny has just said, works every time.
