I also like the I like the non-mag bar. I have a black one but was having troubel finding the non-mag stamps until I saw the placement of yours. The black paint does a good job in hiding them. Mine is the same vintage bar but has the older metal knob. Not sure if you found a stamp on the center portion. Mine has one just left of the embossed US Divers. The stamp is faint and not quite complete becauise this is a curved surface.
“A skin diver is a fellow who pulls on a pair of fancy swimming trunks, some rubber fins, a diving mask and canvas gloves, then fills his lungs with air and noses down into the ocean looking for two fisted trouble.”
I picked up a USD bar manifold at a Seattle shop. It is in OK shape and I'll have it tested. It has the plastic knobs. Still, would like one that looks better cosmetically. Kicking myself for selling a nice one I had a few years back.

Hi rhjameson,
I bought a second manifold from him and he says he has three left so for those interested, there is still a chance to buy a NIB solid bar manifold
