What is the Correct PS Pump for 69 RT 440?

My PS pump is shot so this is an opportunity to actually make it correct.  The pump on there now was donated from a 68 New Yorker (along with everything else on and including the engine).  It is the "chrysler" pump, also known as a Federal.  There also seems to be "Saginaw" PS pumps as well as "TRW/Thompson" pumps according to YearOne.  I found data on teh pumps (referenced below), but I haven't been able to find what the 'correct' one for a 69 Charger RT would be.  Any help or pictures would be appreciated greatly.

Early Saginaw pump is correct.  It has the round body with the oval top and metal cap.  Kind of hard to find as they went to the later Saginaw which has the egg shaped body.  The guts of a lot of these are the same as the early Saginaw.  Bouchillon Performance has the correct pulley which used a woodruff key and nut to retain it.  I think 440 Source may have the pulley now too.  I believe I recall that it's a 6 inch pulley.  Later Saginaw's used a press on pulley.  Hopefully, some other folks will verify what I have said or provide better info.

Thank you for the replies- I'll have to start poking around for a Saginaw.  I presume I'll need both a new mounting bracket and pulley.  It seems Rockauto has some, but I'm unsure if it is the 'older' or 'later' Saginaws you mentioned.  Thanks again.
