If that stray gear gets jammed between the flywheel and housing, you'll have bigger busted stuff than the starter nose.
No, nothing else fits besides the stock style.
But even more important than that, make sure the engine isn't stuck, and that broke the starter. Use the hand crank to crank it over, switch turned off, just to be sure. If you need one, and don't have one, I make them. And if you don't want one, use a pry bar or screwdriver from underneath with the clutch pan removed. Pry against the bell housing and ring gear teeth to rotate the flywheel.
If all else is good, try retardign the timing to be sure it wasn't a kick back the busted the nose.
