... A former coworker was a Citroen fan.  We spoke quite a bit about 
replacements for Pentosin and rechargeable pressure accumulators.  He 
told me that he gets his hyd fluid from a private aviation source and 
the hot ticket on the PAs was to get the Bentley ones as they could be 
rebuilt.  I never looked into either much further.  Apparently with 
the Bentley part you could attach a high pressure nitrogen source to 
the back of the PA and recharge it.  I know the urQ bomb is a one piece 
unit, but it appears that the bomb on the 5k may have had some arrange-
ment for a fitting ... I've never had the need to look at one up close 
to see for sure ...
