These Dayton Traister kits are now hard to come by in Australia.
But all is not lost.
You might be able to find an experienced and competent gunsmith familiar with P13, P14 and M17 actions who is prepared to machine down your cocking piece which with some minor additional fitting will achieve the same result.
The P13 was developed by a committee and originally was designed with "so called" cock on opening but that was overruled in favour of the more familiar but cruder cock on closing.
So as a result those actions partially cock on opening and then decock in the process of cocking on closing. This is a consequence of the original design reverting to cock on closing.
If you were in Sydney I would suggest T Bone Gunsmithing.

Yeah it's a real bugger striaghtshooter as I have a couple of P14/M17 actions for custom builds. I wish Brownells Australia would hurry the f*ck up if they are going to re-open. Anyhoo, thanks for your info and advice. I will have a chat to my Gunsmith about it. Cheers Mate.
