Hi Duke,
Can't help with a manual I'm afraid, but I can offer a word of advice based on painful experience. The Metz 45 is quite a powerful gun, and the capcitors can still pack a hefty charge when a fault prevents them from firing the tube.
If you decide to go inside without a manual your first job should be to discharge the capacitors using a high value heavy resistor with heavy cables attached to it. If you discharge the capacitors accidentally with a screwdriver the resultant flash can burn your fingers quite badly, and possibly some of the interal wiring as well.
You may already be aware of this danger, but I thought I'd put in my two pennnyworth just in case.
