I'm jealous of those Rota drawers.
Factory neighbour picked up a Victor lathe (400x750), and a Bridgeport, and threw me a few extras.
1) a teeny, tiny, rotary:

2) old SECO parting tool:

The edges of the carbide are well rounded,
so extensive regrinding will be needed before anyone can use it.
(and the block is 25mm, so not on a Hercus )Nigel, from a cave FULL of unfinished projects and lost tools.

This looks pretty close - taken from the 1970 Edition of the Queensland Pastoral Supplies Catalogue.

Those tangential parting tools work really well. I have a few blades and I had a large holder. Sold the holder and made myself a smaller one to fit my lathe.
Blackwoods still had the blades listed with in the last couple of years. Not cheap though, but then nothing from Blackwoods is cheap. lol

My parting tools.
I tend to use the HSS one more than the carbide as the HSS blade is thinner than the carbide.

I'm surprised that you can't buy similar with inserts as they work much better than the regular horizontal parting tool blades.
