Default Centurion Fuel Filter

Hi,
I'm looking for some parts help. Our Mk 5/2 Centurion has a fuel filter mounted on the front bulkhead of the engine compartment, differing from the Mk3 and Mk5 parts manuals I have, which show the filter integral with the fuel tank switchover valve in the fighting compartment. The switchover valve we have is for the left, right, and long range tank in the rear but the valve is just a plain valve and does not include the filter assembly like the parts manuals show. So I think this was an official modification, especially as the filter has the British BSPP fittings on the inlet and outlet.

I just have the top housing, no filter element. There is no manufacturers name on it but it has a catalogue number stamped in tiny numbers, FD2189. The recommended replacement element also stamped on it is FG2398/2??.
Is this still available or does anyone have any spare elements? Or any suggestions for a replacement?
I searched the forums and the part numbers but no luck.

Thanks,
Malcolm
