Somerford are great but they catalogue pretty much everything which has ever been available ever and a lot of it is obsolete e.g. the original plastic wheel trims which I wanted for my car at one point but they aren't manufactured anymore and can't be ordered.
Your best bet would be an autojumble/Ebay/classified ad on here. There will be some around. Or paint one as suggested above (assuming they are the same design).

I can confirm that correct ones are out of stock anywhere that might sell repro ones.
The hardest to find seem to be the ones without the bonnet release hole in from when the optional-extra internal bonnet release was fitted (just my luck), and none of them had the flat area in the bottom right where a leyland badge was stuck. It took two years of searching after my resto was finished to find the correct grille, and it was second-hand, not a new replacement.
The Mini Taihiti and Rio had the same hole-less grille in black, but I couldn't find one of those at the time either.
Sorry it's not better news.
