Default Bottled Gas (Camping Gaz) valve replacement

I've got a few of these:

They're for outdoor gas lanterns, but as you'll notice the injectors all
clogged up. So I tried to dismantle one, hence:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...426_170747.jpg

My next question, which you can probably see coming, is...

Are these generic parts (The valve assembly)? Any idea where I could get
some from?

(I've tried Google and Ebay, but I'm drawing a blank.)

Thanks & regards.
Bob

The part that has broken off looks like a metering jet to me - hence the
number stamped on it and I would expect the whole device to be bespoke
to Camping Gaz and the jet to be specific to the lanterns.

YesCalor ones have different regulators due to the different gas.

Oh, Calor comes in Butane (blue) and Propane (red). What is the
gas/liquid in Campingaz cyclinders?

A mix.

The OPs device looks as if it connects directly onto a canister of
gas, thus will be high pressure rather than post a regulator. It also
looks rather old. A new lantern head, complete, is less than £20.
Depends how many canisters of gas and what connection method they use
(piecerable or CLIC) the OP has in stock. It might be getting hard to
find a new piecerable head these days, I think I bought one about 3
or 4 years ago when I inherited about 1/2 dozen piecrable cannisters.
