I played in a band with a guy who had an old Conn on which he used a single bit that didn't look like a sousaphone bit, but looked similar. It did what you described, but I don't know if it was intended to be used on that horn, or if he just used it. I never thought to ask. I haven't seen any modern horns with an adjustable height leadpipe, or bits, but there are a few with removeable leadpipes which may allow for adjustments by changing the leadpipe to one with a different angle.
