Just what city racer carries. Don’t you have them as well? I believe the original is a yellow zinc. The reproductions I’ve seen seem to be a blue zinc.
I will note that I had to file the casting ever so slightly to get it to fit into the bracket. I mean like less than a millimeter from each side. So I suspect they are casting new parts in China for these pumps. Didn’t they use this design on a lot of vehicles of the era? As long as the front seal holds up and the bushings are decent quality I guess this pump will last a long time. I suspect this is the unit city racer is selling, but he’s putting it together with a reproduction resoviour and cap with a reproduction sticker to match the OEM, minus the yellow zinc.

If you look closely, you can see trace bits of the yellow zinc plating, which I honestly didn't notice until I wiped the cap clean for the picture. I think it just fell to inadequate prep from the factory. You can see where it's rubbed off from my reservoir too.
