Don't know what that one is but Bicisupport sell something similar, and it's probably better than the one in the image:

There's also this one - http://www.bicisupport.it/index.cfm/POS ... oli&id=389 The advantage of this one is that you anchor the pedal rather than the shoe. Since the shoe is soft and malleable, any clamping of it or wedge fitting as in the one you showed, might lead to lower fidelity or repeatability. And this one can be used with any pedal.

The Ergon TP1 cleat fit tool in its various iterations is also a great tool. I have one of these and they work very well.

Not a direct answer to your question, but after considering similar tools, i went with the same one as BdaGhisallo, the Topeak vertsions give very repeatable results, fit easily the backpack or corner of the drawer and actually very stimple to dial in.

But on my case, i only use them for my own wrenching/bike fit (SPD + SPD-SL), i don't replace that many cleats during the season, i couldn't justify for myself the models you're interested on, and believe me, i tried.

If it is of any help, the jig you ask about is a Mavic "Ergo Cleat" Alignment System branded as speedplay, it should be at least a decade old by now, maybe more... probably very hard to source if you're not a pro bike fitter...
