What a tricky part to find! Automotive part sourcing is my job - but even I struggled with this. 
This is the parts diagram (assuming yours is a 2017, which would tally in with the dates given) - https://ford.7zap.com/en/car/190/no/26/1562/15599/94607/#8005

It seems the radiator isn't that easy to find, but if you can confirm the American market Edge (which is the same car, but offered in petrol format rather than a diesel) uses the same radiator, Rock Auto have them here: 
https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2017,edge,2.7l+v6+turbocharged,3434543,cooling+system,radiator,2172

That shows different part numbers for the two different 2.0TDCi engine specs available.
2006480 for 180ps, 1929737 for 204ps.
In itself, that's a great illustration of how easy wrong parts supply can be... Now imagine when one for a 2.7 v6 petrol turns up from the US and turns out to be completely different...

The latter part number also seems to cross-reference to Galaxy/S-Max.

But I suspect for a vehicle that new, it's going to be dealer only.

It does indeed, hence some caution is needed - but often the same parts are used between two or more engine variants, so worth checking. One of the two could be correct, and as such match the Rock Auto part (but it's of course massively important to check, check and check again). 

For example the Rover 75 / MG ZT uses the same radiator through all models years and engine types, right the way from the 1.8 through to the 4.6 V8. Not very well known, the V8 owners are always pleasantly surprised when the radiator doesn't cost the Earth!

Thanks Matty for your hard work!  Yes its a 2017 diesel.  I'll check out the links 

No problem at all, but as Adrian says it needs checking a couple of times to make sure before purchasing. 
The best way is probably to ask the garage doing the work to measure the core on your car and compare it to the dimensions above, and same with the mounting points. 

Good luck!
