Those look closer to the original than anything else I found. I was looking for the Brush Gripper recently for my kayak and came across your post. Unfortunately, as many people know, the Blakemore Brush Gripper is inexplicably not being made any more. I was thinking about what could be a replacement, and read about jumper cable alligator clamps, but they don't open up wide. I thought these might work for a low budget solution. I drilled a couple holes in one handle to run a rope through for tying off to my kayak. I also drilled pilot holes in the jaw and put in a stainless steel screw in each jaw to act as a "tooth" to dig into any limb that is in the jaw. The jaws open up pretty wide as well. Haven't tried it yet, but it should hold a kayak good enough when a tree is close by.

Ran across these. Ecommerce Software Solutions: Online Store Software w/ Vendio Use to make something similar out of schedule 40 pvc. Use three quarter pipe 45 inches long. Drill hole 2 inches from the end. run rope through and tie knot so rope can not pull back through. Glue end cap on and drill hole in end cap. Run rope through end cap and out the bottom. LEAVE 3-4 FOOT. STICKING OUT THE BOTTOM. get a second end cap and drill hole and run rope through it and glue on to end of pipe. This allows for a loop size of your choice. You can grab stumps tree limbs or whatever is exposed. Have used to tie boat to dock loading and unloading. nice thing is u can make them what ever length you want.

Old thread, but here is one that is very close to the original Blakemore and it is made in Oklahoma.
