Unknown plumbing fitting 
Is this fitting:http://superfly.co.nz/nut_pipe_flange.jpg
familiar?
The 'flange' doesn't quite tighten into my new radiator's fitting, so I'm hoping to find a transition fitting to fit between this stubby flanged pipe(8 mm diameter) and the threaded fitting, slightly deeper, and with a smaller hole in the bottom, in the new radiator.

Thanks, and I wasn't sure if it was inverted flare, or some type of ArmyNavy fitting.
The new radiator's fittings are 2 or 3 mm too deep...so that the 'flange' compression nut becomes dangerously tight, before the nut can compress the 'flange' into the bottom of the aluminum threads...and the hole diameter in the new fittings is 5 mm, so the 8 mm pipe tip won't easily fit.
