Default water truck manual

Can anyone show me pictures of the water tap/spigots that go on the end of the pipes for filling canteens and water cans? Are they a specific kind/ brand? Not much info available on them. I have the manual with some really good schematics for the piping and it looks like they are single sided knobs.
The manual has lots of good info on operating the truck and good pictures for setting it up but doesn't mention what the pipes were made out of. I assume all the piping was made of galvanized steel, not copper. I wonder about using modern pipes since galvanized water pipe is no longer easily found. I could possibly use smaller chain link fence posts and top pipes with some threading work..... Or use copper and cover it with paint. I plan to use the truck with water and show it off with water in it so I want the pipes to work.
