Definitely US electrical controls,
And been rewired from 3phase 440-550V

Here are some better pictures for those grumbling, (my phone has a lousy camera)

I may have been unclear
But I was hoping someone had a parts breakdown, so I have part numbers (For the pump its self,) Or even a repair manual, or practical experience using one,
All the externals are no big deal

One thing to add I forgot earlier, would be to look carefully at the lubricant.

Current Corblin's and by that I mean those 30 years younger than your 50 year old example that are badged for oxygen service have three features you may wish to consider. First they have a triple diaphragm and a leak detector above and below two of them in the event the gas top or oil bottom or centre separator diaphragm fail. So a triple diaphragm and leak detector cut out switch is two of them.

The third is the use of perfluoropolyether as the lubricant. (not mineral or synthetic oil )
This stuff costs around $400 a kilo (around 17oz US by weight) So if it has this you don't want to be throwing at away for a off the cuff oil change.

Your 50 year old pump is anyones guess if it has this stuff fitted but you won't get drawings
The earliest I have was from my early commercial diving days with Comex we used these pumps on the gas reclaim I do still have these paper pen and ink drawings but don't hold your breath If I can find them.

I have triple diaphragm. No leak detector

Not sure how they do that.. does it sense some how between the diagram? Like a pressure sw?

If you have drawings for the pump itsself that would be great, external plumbing I don't necessarily need,
Also would diagrams be available?
What type of alloy is it? Does the diaphragm have a bulge stretched into it or is it a flat plate?
I don't plan to pump O2 with it,
thanks for helping.
