Not that they are useful to you anyway, but even the M42 lens to Fujinon camera adapters you found are not the the correct THREAD PITCH. M42 Lenses are M42 x 1mm pitch threads, whereas you need M42 x 0.75mm pitch to suit your ZWO camera and most other astrocams.
If you had Canon or Nikon then ZWO make the correct adapters, but not for Fujinon X mount. The only thing you could try is have a custom adapter made or diy something, which wouldn't be easy, although you might be able to Jimmy something up using a suitable length Fuji extension tube as it already has a female fuji-x mount bayonet on one side and some how meld it with the ZWO 11mm plain outside M42 adapter, whilst at the same time ensuring that you hit the correct flange focal distance from lens flange to sensor
