I bought a sideboard so I could have a spare replacement usb-c port on hand.
What you're probably looking at is the vibration motor. As @kqlnut points out, the speaker is a separate part and is not available from Pine64.
Yes--I can confirm this, Zebulon Walton. I have a spare USB-C side board. It came with the vibrator but not the speaker. The board contains the contact foil for the speaker, which is obviously also an EMF shield foil.
I could take my phone apart again to compare the speaker and contacts against the CUI solid model (BTW, FreeCAD works well, if you don't have other solid model or .stl mesh model software installed that can measure arbitrary dimensions in a model) but for only $2.5 USD each, I think I'll just order both the 3 mm and 3.5 mm speakers, see which one is a match, and report back to this thread. Besides the effort involved, taking these phones apart multiple times degrades the mechanical fit and soundness of multiple components.

Note the "3" vs. "35" in the manufacturer's part number to denote height/thickness and the "S" to denote spring contacts.
My speaker buzzing has been getting progressively worse since the phone was new and I'm hoping this will correct it.
