Weird chicken head knobs?

Ever seen knobs like the one on the left in these pics?
It's a replacement knob for an old pedal. Got some Cosmo (Moog) knobs that are kinda close but not quite.
These are really similar to the knobs on the Monolith stuff, so I'm guessing (hoping) they're still in production.
If you ever see one, I need one....

Orig on the left, new not quite right Cosmo/Moog on the right.
Orig is slightly larger, has a slightly larger inset, the rear of the chicken head is convex instead of concave, and there's some moulding around the main part of the knob that the new one doesn't have.

I have seen knobs like that, but they either didn't have the inserts or set screws so you couldn't use them on pedal pots.

Some pedals (BOSS and Ibanez come to mind) use knurled (split) pots instead of the more conventional smooth-shaft pots.

I've seen the knob on the right, but not on the left... What did you say they were off of?

Send an email to Monolith and see if maybe they can give you their supplier (and you can see if it's the same knob, too)
