I'm trying to identify the fork ends on the N-struts of my new to me Rose Parrakeet.

They look like AN161 turnbuckle ends, but the dimensions are slightly different. The threaded end is 5/16, fully threaded to the head, with a 1/4" bolt through the fork end, whereas the AN161-46Rs or -46RL terminal has about 3/4" of thread and then an unthreaded shank of reduced diameter, and a 5/16 bolt hole. Any ideas what it could be? I could bush the hole down for the smaller bolt but the fully threaded shank has me stumped; the reduced diameter shank means I can't just run a die down it to cut more threads..
