Still trying to locate a complete USD's ABS triple tank system or just the mounting blocks and straps. Will purchase or trade a 2005 USD Aqua Lung Double Hose regulator used once in freshwater. I have the triple tanks and Cousteau ABS BCD but lack the unique mounting blocks and straps.

Thanks again if you have this for sale or can point me to someone that does.
 
One like this? I think I have another one out in the garage.

Top photo is what I believe I am looking for, USD ABS 30fs...but bottom photo, while with an off-set bent manifold is not what I have, my manifold is one solid piece and threads/valve/tank are not like those in the photo...those tanks look more like the older USD1 bottles/manifold....

Honestly without the case off, with blocks/straps showing and viewed from front, I can't tell what the top or bottom systems are.....bottom is definitely entirely different manifold and tanks than my early 80s USD ABS set of triples....but USD1 mounted inverted and could not be used with a double hose reg and in top photo tanks are obviously not inverted....

The band at bottom of cylinders in lower photo are also not how my ABS system mounted the tanks to the BCD [blocks/straps]...BUT looks like a very secure set of bands made specifically for those tanks...interesting.
