Need Help!- Milling insert ID desperately needed!

[LakesideMachine]

Hi fellas, I need a hand finding out what insert i need.

I found a very nice indexable milling cutter that was crashed at some point but now repaired. unfortunately all markings/etchings of any kind were grit blasted off during its repair and now refinished. i have no clue as to the maker of the cutter.
Here's what I do know....

Cutter has a 7/8" shank with a 1" cutting head. OAL is 3.75"

3 inserts that appear to be an APKT type insert or simliar.

The insert has a thru hole of .130" and is countersunk for the retaining screw. the top of the countersunk hole in the insert has a .180" counterbore for the retaining screw head. the retaining screw uses a T9 torx wrench to tighten the insert into the pocket.
.
The width or IC of the insert is .3125"
the length is .520"
thickness is .150"
the insert has a positive rake of about 15deg. and a chip breaker in the face.

Anyone have a comprehensive technical book or link to a webpage that shows this insert so i can put it back into good use?? I'd hate to have to trash it just because of lack of inserts.

Any help appreciated!!....Thanks.

Page 358 and 359 for Iscar 1003 and 1505
Page 380 for Valenite's V590 stuff
Page 382 for Valenite's spectramill
Page 404 and 405 for T&O's Iscar copy

The Travers master catalog is a good one to have a paper copy of, lots of info.

I looked in the pages of travers and the sizes I need are not listed, the insert style is the same, but the thickness, width, and length of the insert is not listed.........

MORE HELP PLEASE!!!

Try Korloy inserts.
Look like regular uncoated positive rake for steel etc.
I've got lots of these from Korloy
