Identification of Mustang II flare fitting

Identification of Mustang II flare fitting

Identification of Mustang II flare fitting

(OP)
I am trying to come up with the name of the style of flared tube end used, in this case, on a mid 70's Mustang II power steering rack.  The tube is 5/16" diameter and has a flange crimped onto it about 1/4" from the end.  An o-ring seats against the flange on the fluid side and a male thread tube nut threads into the housing and presses the flange onto the o-ring to form the seal.  I have seen the name for this style of flare, but can't come up with it now.  Is a tool available to reproduce this type of flare?
