Is the SF U2 tailcap different from the Z59 clicky tailcap?

That's right, it's a normal Z59/Z58 Clickie except in Black HA.

SF lists the Z59 as available in 'Mil-Spec Type III Hard Anodized' or in 'Tactical Black'. My understanding is that the U2 & other black items are Type II.

I believe SureFire's listing of the Z59 to be a mistake - The Z59 is type II black like the 6P/Z2 (etc) because that is what the Z59 is intended for.
The U2 (K2/E2d/E2DL/X300 etc) are type III (Hard Anodised) black.
The U2 is the only standard model that can use the Z59/Z58 Clickie in Black HA so it doesn't make any sense that the Z59 is black HA.

Does SF sell replacements of their U2 TailCap?
(is the question)
They don't have a Z-number for it that I'm aware of.
They have stock from which to send out replacements so it must have a part number - I suggest you give 'em a call and ask.

Yep - the black HA is a less glossy more dull black
