IR Led and Phototransistor on the same package?

Hi, guys!
I've got this very old board(circa 1999/2000) that has this strange 'IR Led and Phototransistor' in one single package.
This works fine, but I want to buy new ones, but I can't figure out it's manufacturer nor the model!
Here's some pics:

Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

"IR LED and phototransistor in a single package" pretty much clarifies as an opto coupler. They use it to electrically isolate signals. The pics are kinda noisy and I can't make much out of it, but I think you can hack a different part in.

Thanks for you reply, RazSlack!
But this is actually a 'reflective sensor'. It is used to 'read' a black/white pattern(much like a barcode) from a plastic block and send some ASCII to a computer.
But thanks for you help!

Well, I finally found it!
It's an "Reflective Object Sensor" from Fairchild. The model is an QRD1114!
