If CEN settels for the scandinavian external W21.7 thread instead of the
german external G3/4" the regulator conversion is easy. You simply remove
the DIN 477 air "wheel" and change it to an O2 "bolt" bought as a sparepart
in a welders supply shop. I have tested it with the poseidon first stage
and it works. The german DIN 477 oxygene thread is lager so you might have
to change the inlet to the regulator. Some other countries uses a G5/8
external thread on the tanks. This one is not lage enough for an easy
rebuild.

PS: The german EMS GmbH has filling adaptors to fill G3/4" oxygentanks in
many countries.
