Why can't I find this anywhere?

Trying to make a rucksack, using an old rucksack as a pattern. The old rucksack used what I think is called a Two Way Closed End Zip. The kind where when the zip is closed both zippers are in the middle, and when it's open they are at the ends.

Now I can find loads of zips with single zippers, and loads where the zip is open when the zippers are in the middle, but barely any of the type I need! All the ones I have found are the wrong length. I need it to be around 23", could possibly deal with 22" or 24".

I'm hoping someone knows where to find them! Otherwise I may just have to go with a single zipper, which would obviously work, but not be ideal.

At the risk of making it dizzyingly confusing, Empusa, a quick google brought this up.
It's American and slightly bewildering, but they do ship overseas, and they do appear to have a truly massive selection of all sorts and styles of zips. I'm sure you could email for advice.

Found them on eBay 22" and 24" - 24" one here.
