Kato D51 2009 Steam engine tender coupler

A very good friend sent me this cool engine for my birthday and I would like to replace the rapido couplers with knuckle couplers. Does anyone have this engine and replaced the couplers  if so what coupler do I need to purchase?

Kato might make a conversion coupler, which would work with MT etc. couplers.  They do make some, as Japanese railroads also use knuckle couplers.

MTL conversion list suggests a 1129.
