I see your point. That is why I am curious as well. But that is an IC so it has some other doodads in it.
You can get one from Mouser for 6 bucks (US) or so, but the killer is postage. Would be good to have a close look at some datasheets see if you could find an equivalent from RS Components because they ship free (they don't have that one however, but have some that look similar).
Those thingies on the PCB are capacitors most likely. They shouldn't suffer.
You can have curve tracers for anything, in fact most of the time they are used for semiconductors these days because of the convenience of not having to pull things out of the board to measure them especially with multipin ICs and such. A capacitor, resistor, etc is not that much of a pain to remove and check.
