Identify this Analogue Percussion Machine...

Can any vintage gear enthusiasts help me identify a drum machine from the early/mid 70's?

I'm looking to re-create that 'brash' analogue percussion machine sound that bands like Suicide, Harmonia, Kraftwerk and Brian Eno used. I've had various suggestions (Bently Rhythm Ace, Korg Minipops, Roland CR-68 ec) but after downloading samples into Logic, none of them seem quite right.

If you search for 'Veteranissimo' on the itunes store you can hear a free snippet of Harmonia using this very drum machine.

There are also some free Suicide samples here:

I've tried creating my own using Korg Minipops samples i downloaded but im missing that harsh shaker/hihat sound that is typical of these bands and the overall analogue compression factor is lost... my results are typically flat and lifeless sounding. How can i recreate this machine on a Mac with all its cheap analogue charm?
