If O_Ds suggestion cannot help because of distance, I bought my wiper blades from Max Merritt. Definitely not cheap and no idea of his source. They fit the arm, look correct and the rubber appears to be fresh. The original blades are very flimsy compared to modern items but if you want period correct maybe the best option.

There is an aftermarket blade from Trico sold as the Trico Classic. It may be available in the UK and is a modern blade that looks old. It either comes with various small interchangeable pieces or has different slot configurations that supposedly can be adjusted to make the blades work with an assortment of old arms. I have not tried them to verify they work as advertised but perhaps someone else has. If they will attach securely they would be a less expensive option although much different in profile than the originals.
