If they are in deed difficult to find can you not work around the need.
All depends upon what you need one for but if you have a scroll chuck you can use face plate rings to mount pieces on it.

If you mount one on a piece of Aluminium Alloy or good quality Birch ply you can form your own faceplate to use with the chuck for reverse turning and the like.

Even cheaper option for light loads such as reverse turning a bowl base Use a hardwood ring.
