If you have success, I would be interested. Can probably order direct once they have your approval.

Pretty sure Richard would have these, I just haven't checked in with him yet, as these are not the highest items on my current list.

   Hi Z,      No didn't find those and without specific knowledge of those machines it's difficult to assess the bolt size, they look right.

  Guys,  The unions I found do fit, see photos below. But, the oil holes are different, smaller, see 1.5mm drill in new bolt,  so I would  drill the banjo and the bolt out to full 2.5mm as original parts.  Also if you use them, fit an extra washer (3 in total) or take 1mm off the end of the new bolt. I did a test with the original fittings, there was only about half a millimetre clearance on the bolt before it hits the pump body at the bottom of the tapped hole. The new bolt will pinch up by hand but has no clearance to allow tightening , so shorten it slightly. Be careful with the pump, its a soft zinc based alloy that's easily damaged or stripped. Don't overtighten the unions.

I will do a blow through test of new and old fittings to see if there's much difference in flow resistance (best scientific test I can do) ??? ::)
They're very reasonably priced at 2 for £10.63 delivered in the UK, they will post to US, don't know cost. Happy to get some and post to US if required and you distribute. Bet they put the price up if there's sudden high demand  ;D :D ;D
PS, Why can't I post more than 3 photos, they're only VGA quality.

 4th photo.
Now I've ordered a second set  :o :o here's the link   http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Banjo-Bolt-Banjo-Fitting-KIT-Brake-Line-Fitting-Fuel-Hose-Fittings-Hydraulic-/281069329989?pt=UK_WSJL_Wholesale_GL&clk_rvr_id=708923032465&var=  
(6mm x1mm bolt and 5mm outlet) but I'd be surprised if you can't find similar in US    Brian

Check out https://www.belmetric.com/metric-banjo-fittings-c-1041.html?zenid=nhba2e5on5rc67i4makaeqsuv2. They have metric banjo bolts and eyes, something may work.
