Adapt bayonet fitting for fibreglass gas bottles from Europe

We have just bought and imported a boat from Europe. The gas bottles are GRP (like those sold by Ragasco in Australia). The fittings are bayonet style, and don’t have a purging screw on the side. For this reason we have been unable to refill them. Ragasco sell the same bottles but with Australian fittings.
Does anyone have any experience of buying or using adapters for European gas bottles and fittings to use in Australia?
Thanks in anticipation
Rachel

Perhaps taking the cylinder to a test station that does gas cylinders and have it revalved?
