You could also check with any of the guys that sell original British car
tools that came with the cars when new. I know of a couple, one of

Works owned by Jerry LaBant in Liverpool, PA. Jerry specializes in the
factory supplied "accessories" like this and also period after market
accessories and automobilia. http://www.liverpoolmotorworks.com/
