The other military supplied item was the Hy-Gain TD-1 tape dipole.
Discussed here:  http://www.eham.net/articles/5523  Gra-4 is better and
easier to use.

I think what you may be looking for is an as-244/gra-4 military antenna.
Much more useable that the old Collins tape dipole.

HyGain marketed these in the late 60's.  I know a ham who still has
one that he acquired as military surplus.

See this: http://www.qsl.net/n2ckh/HA4000.htm

They have replacement tapes here:
