I have no idea what the compression blocks are. I know I tried to put the wing on a dive rite travel harness and it wouldn't fit.
Based on my previous ownership of Dss setup, the wing should line up with the plate and held there by two rubber nipple kind of things. The hole distance is 11", an industrial standard. So technically, any back plate should work. However, the slots on the plate needs to line up with the wing channel opening so the cam straps can come through. I guess dive rite travel pack doesn't work because the cam straps locations don't like up?
Another difference is DSS wing has two blocks of rubber pieces which help stablize the tank. They get in the way of STA. Without mod, they are not compatible with STA, thus not compatible with Halcyon small backplate.
