Shower faucet with diverter needs replacement but tight access

[T Tov]

Hi I got this shower faucet with diverter which needs replacement but very tight access to see what's going on.
I can't identify the brand....
Currently can open the water to the hose but the top rainfall head leaks lots of water as well.
We can't give the kids a hose shower without getting drenched!
Some questions I have-
1. How do i identify this part?
2. Do i just replace it with a brand name faucet based on the distancefrom the suverter to the main? What do i need to buy?
3. Is it not a DIY project?
4. If I call a plumber do i expect the tiles to be sawed broken?
5. Do i need to buy the new faucet before the plumber comes?

Is there drywall on the back side? If so, then it would require a plumber and worth consulting with them on best approach. tile cutting would be likely.
Try google lens with the plate and handles on for i.d.

you can turn house water off and try to remove the cartridges. then try to id them http://barrywalter.com/index.html
But, the diverter would need to be i.d. from a mfr and unless someone can spot the brand, no luck.

Is that an electrical box right beside the shower??

Unless I'm missing something that looks like the handheld sprayer elbow and hose

Could be but in the picture it looks like its on the outside of the shower. I guess pictures are deceiving.

I tried home depot and lowes they've never seen it

No lol, just a weird type. We moved on a year ago, we have no idea where they find these brands.

So I had no luck so far, ordered some rubber circles to try and repair the valve.
Mean while, bought a ln online on off valve to put on the over head shower unit so at least can turn it off, but there's barely any clearance for my hand to go there and I don't see a clear way of twisting it off, any ideas or guesses how best to handle it?
