As you found, the sprocket can't be reversed permanently due to the stepped flange, something corrected on the new unit.

However, it can often be reversed and left with circlip off for a while, since the chain does tend to keep the sprocket in place.

Try a Giant agent first for the sprocket which he'll have to order in for you. If Giant run out again, there's only very expensive continental alternatives which I can help with. Here's the dealer locator page. Put a check mark against Giant Electric and enter your location to find your nearest Giant e-bike dealers:
