Vintage Presto Pressure canner w/All American weight regulator. Safe?

So I found a vintage 23 quart Presto Pressure canner at a garage sale. It came with a rack, a weighted regulator. But it's a round dial with three holes marked: 5,10,15. I replaced the seal and safety plug, then I tried it out canning my garden's peaches at 5lbs according to instructions and it worked fine. The gauge went up to 5-6lbs and stayed there.

Is it really safe though to use another manufacturer's weighted regulator though? Should I buy Presto's version?

Presto's is a 3 piece set of rings that stack
