It could be. I did find the same but doesn't say it fits the Jimny. I'll order one since it does look the same as the one in the diagram.
Thanks for looking.

Started a couple of days ago after ordering some bits. Have everything off except the gearbox and all bell housing bolts are loosened ready - 2 were already loose. I bought a scissor type transmission jack which turned up yesterday.
Hoping to get gearbox off today.
Will report back.

OK I removed the gearbox this afternoon. I couldn't have managed without a transmission jack. As others have said, it's tight and I removed the clutch to get enough room to drop the gearbox. I could have changed the bearing and clip in situ but I wanted to removed the clutch for inspection anyway. Glad I did as the flywheel was a bit dirty. 
Both clips 6 & 8 were actually fitted. I couldn't see clip 6 through the clutch cdable aperture but it was fitted. Both clips seemed to have lost their strength however. The release bearing was only weakly retained to the fork. The new clip 6 was the same but stronger and retains the release bearing to the fork more securely. See attached pics.
Also the old clip 8 (behind the dome) didn't provide much spring to hold the fork in it's resting place, whereas the new clip 8 is stronger. So the fork is refitted to the gearbox and it seems improved (less wobbly) but it will be Sunday or early next week before I can refit everything and prove it's fixed. Release bearing was OK but fitted a new one since I'd bought one.
Just to confirm:-
PN. 23241-78A20 is clip 8 (clip release fork) and is listed in some places for the Jimny.
PN. 23231-81A20 is clip 6 (clip release bearing). It's listed in some places for a Suzuki Carry Van but when I rang Sims Suzuki they confirmed it fitted the Jimny which it does.
I've got another question. I stupidly removed the clutch without taking notice of which way round the plate was fitted. It's a Blueprint clutch not LUK as the seller said. It doesn't say which way faces the engine. Anyone know which way round it's supposed to fit - see pictures?
Thanks for the help. Will update again once everything is back together.
Regards
Dave

The driven plate usually only goes one way round. Usually the bulky part faces the g/box but try both ways. It will be obvious as it will not physically fit.

The fiddly bit is to get the plate central so that the g/box input shaft slides easily through the splined section and locates into the crankshaft spigot bearing. DONT FORCE IT. Prior to refitting the box, put it into first gear and as you push the box into place turn the output shaft so the splines engage. I made up two dowels from old bolts that I screwed onto the engine to use as locaters to centralise the box. This made it a lot easier to ease the box into place.
