And these are in Britain or Ireland? They are very rare, then, and must have been brought in by someone as a special load.
As far as I know, they have never been manufactured over here, although I know which company has the licence to do so. For all sorts of silly reasons, shaped blocks (as opposed to plain rectangles) have never really caught on in Britain and Ireland, whereas you will see axeheads, S- and W-blocks, I-pavers and so much more in every country of the continent and across North America.
Unless you were exceptionally lucky and chanced upon a salvage yard with remarkable stock, you are not going to find a match this side of the Channel, and it would costs illy money to bring them over from Holland or France, so either use what you hav eto make a feature panel, or forget about them.

I'm in the south of England
We were digging up our back Garden and didn't realise they were under a good foot of soil and rocks
We have like three different types and it's hard trying to work out how they fit and go together
