Brent,
The two-part coupling flange is common in the oil patch for mating diving bells with decompression facilities for crew transfer. The small portable chambers depicted in the DART brochure are used by US Navy diving detachments during remote ops.

As scarce as the truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.

I found this set of decompression units from a manufacturer in the Netherlands, that are using the STANAG NATO standard flange. The main unit has a interesting pressure hull design. It looks like they are using a different locking means for there add on unit, in a clam shell arrangement. I'll need a at least two STANAG flanges on my live aboard sub.
