In general, the vacuum units that are available, will do as replacements for
the ones that aren't. So, TRF LU54413565 will work, or you can use Moss
560-150 by converting to a push-on vacuum line.

I would suggest testing it first (a MityVac costs less than a new vacuum
advance) as they last a long time. I was able to get mine rebuilt through a
local independent parts dealer for less than the price of a new unit, the
result looks good and works well.
