That looks qualitatively correct for the package shape. It's harder to
judge exact size, but it's close.

 
Try an endoscope camera:

They comes in 5.5, 6, 7 or 8mm dia probes.  7mm seems to be a good
compromise between viewing angle, depth of field and illumination.
 

I tried looking on Amazon (no Ebay account and no desire to get one) and
would prefer something that does not rely on a phone, but rather a desktop
computer running Linux. Apparently many such cameras support guvcview but
haven't found one that explictly says so on Amazon. I've posted a question
and am awaiting a response.

 
If you leave it torn apart, you'll eventually lose some parts or
hardware which potentially will make it useless.  That's what recently
happened to me with a Chinese 12VDC to 115VAC power supply.  Best to
make your decision fairly soon. 

Agreed, it's back together for now.

Thanks for writing!
