Terry. the brackets changed when the fluted lens was introduced. Does this matter to you?

Allan, I wasn't aware of the change and difference, but I need some for fluted lens. I have a pair of steel rims that have been nickle plated by a previous owner that have all the tabs broken off. Don't know about shipping from half way around the world. Hopefully someone in U.S.A. has some.

The H lens clips are wider and more complicated in shape. They have to stop the lens rotating within the rim.
I have made a couple out of sheet brass and soldered them in place on some 26-7 brass rims. Fiddly work but worth the effort on a good rim.

Terry, I have a few of those clamps already removed and a couple of unrestorable steel rims you can have if you can’t get one from Alan. I’m surprised you haven’t contacted me
