    Is that the one with a collar at the thread end? if so here's one i modified to fit a Mk1 MLMCC



    The only real difference (other than the collar iirc) is the gauge rod was slightly shorter & where the rod meets the head it is near flat where the clearing rod is more curved for a smooth transition to the head.


    Genuine clearing rods




    Looking at The OPs pic i would suspect Peter is correct but we would have to take into account any possible manufacturing differences between makers.
