You can get about any diode of the same physical size and it will work just fine (assuming that it isn't a Schottky or Zener). The forward voltage drop is all about the same and the power rating (which equates to forward current rating) is based on the size. I have an LM-1, but I don't know if you want me to take a picture of anything in it, as it doesn't work very well at all.

Obviously, if the board doesn't indicate the cathode location, you will need to determine that too.

I am traveling right now, but when I get home, I can get a pictue for you if you like.
