I don't know, but I would guess not. I have never seen one like that on any Simplex, but maybe that was all Simplex could source at one point.

Here is a factory photo of a 1958 Sportsman with the cap we are all familiar with.

Those are late model Cushman gas caps.  Cushman must have bought them from the maker, as Clinton used the same caps, in a smaller size, on some of their chain saws.
