Not sure, but I doubt if they have been available for 50 years. A panel beater should be able to make a reasonable job of a complete new one.

many years ago somebody suggested that Bradford front wings were made by Briggs using the press tools made for the pre war Ford 8 Ytype. There is certainly a resemblance. Also the production Bradford front wings are quite different from those on first the publicity photo of the 'post war van' published in ?1945 & looking more like the 1938 van. Was it then redisigned to use some of Briggs redundant tooling to save costs? The windscreen surround panels are also very like a pre war Ford commercial.
