There were minor circuit differences between my 544 and Omni-C blankers.
The Omni-C blanker did not work nearly as well. I set the schematics
side-by-side and made the Omni-C correspond. Seems it was more like minor
rewiring but it has been a looooong time ago (and I've slept since then). I
do recall that it was an easy project -- probably not taking more than an
hour of a lazy man's time. I can dig out the manuals and send schematics
and images of the physical board layout (components, but not the traces).
If I had the gumption, I could pull the boards and scan the traces, I
suppose.
I would guess that Ten-Tec would give their blessing to your effort.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Looking for NB for Triton 544
I'm always looking for a winter project.
Provided there are no hard to get parts such as inductors or transformers,
I haven't seen a schematic, I could pop a circuit board for one.
Provided, I don't step on too many toes considering it is copyrighted
material from ten tec.
Again, not looking at the schematic, does the noise blanker for the
Triton four also work for the Omni series?

Thought I'd ask on the off-chance somebody has a noise blanker board
available for the 544...
Love the old 544 but drowning in summertime electrical noise here...much
of it blankable on many radios. Wish the Omni V blanker worked. Usually
end up running an FT-102 lately because of the effective NB.
Maybe I'll get lucky and find one!!
