Hey Darren,
Apart from asking your local dealer or calling Ford UK, (assuming you're in UK) quoting your vin #, I would think the best thing to do is read the numbers off the sensor itself, since there can be variations in parts on local vehicles owing to local regulations/specifications etc....
Having said that, some will say the specs are quite broad and there are universal o2 sensors available - some will argue you should replace with exactly the same. I suspect the truth is somewhat inbetween as the truck's computer is adaptive....but of course it does expect a certain value from a sensor, so it could be like trying to measure something with a rubber ruler.
Presumably you have good reason to think yours needs replacing, and I guess 20years or so on from when O2 sensors started appearing, the evidence suggests they are indeed a consumable that needs to be replaced periodically. Like any chemical reaction based thing under such extremes, values change over time, and without the ability to calibrate, replacement's our only option.

In UK they are called Lambda Sensors. Bosch is the best and that is most likely what came on your truck. I use the universal after cat sensor as it is cheaper then the short wire one.
