ten years ago that valve assembly was not reproduced. One OEM piece was listed on ebay for some ridiculous price. So most owners and repair shops opted for a generic substitute.
Today that exact assembly is reproduced. Vintage Air maybe? I forget. Still higher priced than the generic type but not outrageous for what it is.
I don't know that they offer the vacuum servo and/or water valve separately. Replacing half of it doesn't seem wise anyway. It can leak water as quick as leak vacuum. In my experience the water leak is much more common regardless the type ( vacuum actuated or cable actuated ), brand, or application.

I've got a used one but don't know the condition of either the water valve or the vacuum pod

I have a NOS unit but will be using it on my 65 Dart wagon
 

All I need is a good vacuum canister. Would you mind putting your Mighty Vac on both nipples of the canister and see if they hold vacuum?
I'll take the whole unit if you don't want to mess with disassembling it, but the canister must hold vacuum on both ports.
 
Sorry - I don't have a Mity Vac to check it. I guess I could try a vacuum line and use mouth power but don't think I could hold it long enough to make sure the pod held vacuum!
 
I took it to a machine shop who checked it for me. One side was working the other side did nothing. Unless the pod can be repaired, it's probably no good. The water valve appears to be OK but until it can actually be tested with water, not sure.
