Does anyone know what lever will fit this washing machine valve tap?

Looks quite a lot like one of these - Flomasta Compression Washing Machine Valve Without Check Valve 15mm x 3/4" - Screwfix. For £1.68 I'd probably be tempted to pick one up next time I was in Screwfix, and give it a try. They even supply two handles (red+blue) with each one, so I could use the spare one and stick the valve and the second handle in the shed with the other 1000+ things I'm hoping will come in useful one day.
There are replacement handles on sale online, but I can't quickly find any that don't cost significantly more than that complete valve, so it seems a bit pointless. Handles for Washing Machine Valve Tap | 1 x Red & 1 x Blue Spare Levers : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools
ETA: these are cheaper, but it's not clear that they come with the screws to attach them to the valve body. For that reason I'd probably still buy the complete valve. Merriway BH02985 (2 Pcs) Replacement Handle for Washing Machine Isolator Tap ... | eBay1 -
Or just use an adjustable spanner. Put a cap on it if it's not going to be used, save an unseen leak.1
