After looking closer, I had noticed the Cv issue and was going to do an edit.
On the pressure side, these are on the downstream side of the regulator, and operate at 60 PSI.

As long as you stick with the VUVG M5s you will be legal.
The larger M7 are the ones that flow more.
Although since they were in a previous KOP you could assume they are legal, but I cannot find any documentation on the specs to show that. I don't think it safe to assume older KOP items are legal to current rules (think FP motors ...).
