This looks promising. Not exactly from hirose, but
www.rs-components.com distribute some JAE connectors and, after
looking into JAE catalog
http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/057d/0900766b8057d338.pdf
I saw exactly what I was looking for in (printed) page 7, ref CR16 .

Now the problem is rs-components does not distributed that part
apparently, but at least I have now a reference to ask for a quote or
look around.
