This type of regulators are available in RV store near me for under $25Cdn. 
Made by same US company as makes the "OEM". The square ones are obsoleted up 
here, NLA, and have moved on to a two stage type that is about 1.5" longer 
than square type.  The copper pipes will give enough to fit.  No nice 
plastic box-cover however.  If anyone wants a box-cover the dealer has some 
left, $1.50 each.  
$87 indeed, harumph
