Yay! Found it!
The US AW 03-R works well.
They didn't have the AW-23.
I kind of liked that big metal spring but oh well!
Incidentally, the dude in the gray shirt had no clue either. I had to find
it myself. Even as I am showing it to him, he is telling me it won't work.
Of course it worked fine.

Thanks!
