The only difference was a two-piece rigid nozzle in place of the single flexible nozzle flown in the Apollo Command Module. The flown extinguishers were destroyed during reentry of the Skylab Module…". There is a manufacturer's mark engraved on the locking bolt of this nozzle that reads: "Crawford Pat'd, Swagelok - 316". A fascinating artifact of an often overlooked series of flights.
