It's very possible, if not probable, that this part is actually manufactured
by either Tokico or Nabco. Both make hydraulic bits for a number of Japanese
manufacturers.
It would be nice if we could come up with part number cross references based
on the working dimensions of parts like these. I'd bet we could find many
other "non Datsun" parts that are virtually the same and still available.
FWIW,
