Source for 'oiled bronze' outlet covers?

The kitchen is pretty close to being completed, but the lovley Mrs_B has her pretty little heart set on some period correct outlet/switchplate covers. The problem with that is that old style oiled bronze cover plates are tough to find. I have a source for them, but not for all the configurations I need.

There are also dozens of sources for some pretty cheezy imitations of oiled bronze. I'd take the imitations if we were just worried about lining the room with outlet covers at 18" off the floor, but in the kitchen there are switches and outlets spaced every couple of feet and are just over the counter top so they are very visible. That being said, I need to figure something out.

The photo is the 'look' or 'appearance' that we want to get, the drawing is what I am looking for in configuration (and I can't find it anywhere). I only need ONE of these in this configuration.

Any help in sourcing this would be appreciated.
