Default Gauge faceplates available?

I recently was fortunate to buy a nos fuel and oil pressure gauge case. Having been in the box for the last 89 years, the colour on the faceplate is so different to all my other originals. Is anyone reproducing 35 or 36 faceplates at all?

The 35 and 36 instrument clusters are physically the same size but there were color changes to the foreground as well as to the finish of the chrome ring. The V8 Club restoration book covers the colors. The foreground faces are not reproduced.
