I'm not sure what the source was for that valve... could be Lancair.  I'll try to find out where it came from for you tomorrow.  BTW, the stock valve doesn't have the "flag" on the selector handle, I added that to augment the recessed knob.  In its stock configuration you need Popeye arms to turn the dial, now there's plenty of gripping surface so switching tanks is much easier.  Once the flag was attached to the knob I dipped the whole assembly in PlastiDip, the stuff they sell for coating tool handles.  Makes for a nice non-skid grip.  And yes, you're right, it routes the return line back to the selected tank.
