2012 Civic LX radiator question

Hey everyone, first time poster here. I drive a 2012 Civic LX, and I'm looking to replace my radiator. The one the car came with cracked and is now leaking, I've removed it but I'm not sure which type of replacement to get. Most of the sites I've looked at show two brands for radiators, Denso and Toyo. Mine doesn't appear to be either of those, how would I be able to tell which brand I have now and is there any advantage to one brand or the other? Ideally I'd like to get Toyota parts, but any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Just be sure to get the right part number (you can get it from the dealer by giving them your VIN, they will tell you the OE number for the radiator). Then check with the shops that sell TOYO and Denso and see, if these two really match teh OE # the dealer gave you. Also, check the warranty terms (I heared that DENSO give 2 years) and then make your decision.
