I don't know what the composition of the pump arm is - I have heated and bent one a bit, looked ok but haven't used it yet.
If straightforward, then welding/brazing on an extra bit should work.
Setting up in a bare crankcase is a good way to see how things relate together.
Our spares shed sells ones with incorrect arms at a lower price than the correct ones, so I have bought one to "play" with.
One thing to look out for if you decide to mix and match: the "M" type and the "T" type have different operating systems, so the arm profiles are similar but the driven ends are different, and not interchangeable.
This will probably apply to other AC pumps. Somewhere I came across a website that listed dozens, with exploded parts diagrams, which may be helpful.
My tiny brain is saying it was associated with Jeeps. Annoyingly, the "M" type (the correct pump for the other car) wasn't on it.
I would find someone with a stock of pumps and root through till I found one that would do. One of my cars has an electric pump, it is fine until the battery is flat.
