Sorry, the answer is no.
However you maybe lucky if you bag a set on here or on ebay.
the original Rover accessories are even harder to source.

Base material metal (brass or similar) or plastic of some kind or other?

The Ebay ones are the Rover type with plastic base. I keep pondering a pair but not sure they would look ok on a ZT. Worried about scratches on my paint more than anything from nails and rhese would help but would they scratch too? I don't have long girlie nails- potter too much with cars haha.

Likely plastic but very well made. You can't tell the difference unless you touch it but once in place hard to know !
