So anyone know a source for Whitworth wrenches that would fit a TDC HS? The locknut is smaller than 32mm, maybe close to 30 mm, though I doubt a 30 mm wrench will work. The adjustable cup is just a bit too big for a 40 mm wrench. I recently bought a Whitworth wrench set at a reasonable price, but it only goes up the 9/16 W, which isn't large enough.

I will guess Whitworth. I had a beater Super Course MKII that would only fit an adjustable wrench on the original seatpost binder bolt. Neither metric nor English box ends would fit.
