Basically, it's just a DIN filler for a compressor hose.

To get one without a bleeder... several different ways.

Easiest likely to get a DIN conversion kit for a non-DIN regulator and then to have a machine shop make a plug with the correct thread (as the regulator would have had) to thread into the adapter and then drill and tap to suit for your fitting.

Really, though: I'd use two first stages and connect the LOW PRESSURE ports one to the other with a hose... that way each system has its own pressure reduction and from there the system behaves the same way. Makes no difference then where the second stage or the FFM are plumbed in... both get all. If you unbalance the frst stage IP's by 10 PSI you can make the system automatically feed one and then the other cylinder in sequence. Otherwise selectively turn on and off the valves. The body of the first stsages will act as a manifold to feed gas to/from that point from the other first stage.
