If I'm reading this correctly, we're in pretty big trouble.
Many teams have used such COTS linear actuators by replacing the actual motor with one of the motors allowed. In effect, they use the "gearbox" portion of the actuator with an allowed motor. See R18 for the full list - the list above is just the ones which can be duplexed on a single controller. The key things you're going to need to match are shaft, torque, and speed. If you then have several matches, look at mounting options.
