Seems that the original was built to a lighter road / race specification, is a tad bit narrow in it's brake spacing, and lacks mounts for fenders and a crown mounted canti hanger.
Buying and retrofitting a fork is a lot more work than it's worth.
Yes, a new fork, built to order, is the best option. I'll have this done over the winter.
