Apeks experts :)

Hi
I have these two reg.
One is a DS4 and the other (green saddle) looks like a DS4 but it has 2 HP and only 3LP and the positions of the ports are not the same as the DS4. No CE marking as it may be from before compulsory CE marking (date?!)
Any ideas?
Thanks

Not totally sure but I wonder if the green one is designed specifically to be a deco bottle reg. The less ports and color.

I'm curious as to what the actual experts say.

Possibly a Zapeks or even a Chapeks.
I have never seen a DS4 with two HP ports. But the zeagle/apeks DSIV, had two hp.

The green saddle is used by Apeks on their O2 regs.

Know not much of Apeks but have been diving it for nearly 24yrs.
Never heard DS 4 with 2HP ports.
The hand wheel on both units are quite recent.

Ask Apeks directly.
Love to hear the reply.
Good luck.

Are you sure it really is two HP ports? Apeks used to have one LP port which was larger(1/2") than the rest.

Yes, two HP. It is even identified as it

Apeks is UK brand.
3LP ports is hardly adequate for dry suit diving: 2 for 2nd stage,1 for bc power inflator and 1 for dry suit inflator.
My guess is Apeks lookalike.

Ok I got the answer to my own question
Went diving with a friend today and he was diving his rEvo. Checked the reg and there you are: ds4 with 2 hp and 3 lp.
So it is "rEvo Apeks" or "Apeks rEvo", a rEvapeks
