Yeah, but...

If you replace the Narco 10 with a Narco 10 the old switch and wiring
will not have to be replaced. As Jay noted, this is a royal pain in the
labonza. If you go with ACK or AK they have their own special cable you
get to rip up and rerun.

I'd hold my ground for the new unit(s). Whatever installation labor your
greasy charges will be more than offset by being able to use D flashlight
cells every 5 years.

IIRC, replacement is more frequent than every 5 years (1 or 2 is my
recollection), but either way, it is still far cheaper and more convenient
to use D cells.

The D cells must be replaced per the 'best used by' date on the cells
themselves. If you chose wisely and get very fresh stock that can be much
more than 5 years.
