I take it the Shockwave came out some time after Jay's originals?

Is there any physical or performance difference between the two?

I see the Zero Five antenna. I have only ever imported a horizontal HF dipole from Zero Five and that was many years ago. How does their 5/8 wave GP compare to Jay's antenna?

Unit 148
 
Way WAY late on this but I have one of Jay's antennas and despite poor installs and some really bad weather - at one point Ice brought the antenna down and drove part of the I10k into the frozen ice covered ground more than a few inches with only a slight bend in the tube - That sucker still performed as good as the day it was put up! If Jay does ramp up and produce them again I'll buy another simply to leave in the box just in case ...
