Possible CCKW jack substitutes

A search of the net shows only one relevant post re: CCKW issued jacks. Its on CCKW.org (you can google it).

Seeing that I have yet to uncover a real jack, I have started to search for an acceptable substitute in form and function.

So far I have uncovered the following:

Simplex model HJ3:

And Zinko model ZN-12:

While not exact duplicates, the fact that the pump mechanism is in the front of the cylinder seems to be a somewhat unusual configuration.

After a coat of OD I think that they should be at least similar to the CCKW jacks that all seem to have been thrown away.

Has anyone uncovered a crate of CCKW jacks that they want to post pics of or sell? I'm in for one!

Not a crate of them, but I found an original configuration jack (probably post war production based on paint color) at a flea market/swap meet for $12.
