They fill differently. The parker as you mention is a plunger pump. You put the whole nib under the liquid level and pump the plunger five or six times pausing a long three count between strokes. I'd guess there is a 50% chance the Parker will fill BUT I will also point out that diaphragm failure is sudden and gives no warning.
The Sheaffer fills with a single downstroke. Again the nib and feed should be submerged and with the Sheaffer let it sit in the liquid for a long ten count.
The striped Duofolds were made from 1940 until 1948. More info here.
The Sheffer Plunger Fillers were introduced in 1935. The style of clip (rather than color) is a good way to get an estimated age and you can see the evolution of the clips here.
Sheaffer nibs were amazing but again, not really user swappable.

Thanks again!! Any ink better than others? I’d prefer something that dries fairly fast.
