I use a FACOM D.107-17 - it's 3/8" drive.

If you decide to replace the plug and order by the ETKA # 111 301 127E
you will NOT receive a 17mm Allen but a 16mm triple-square.  The FACOM
driver for this is D.120-16 - standard triple-square drivers won't
work because the new plug has an internal protruding anti-tamper pin.

Anyone know of a pseudo-number to get an old-style plug?

I find the normal ratchet usually sufficient - the longer gimballed one
deals with most of the rest, but is restricted in movement because of
the width of the head.
