From what I can see on my 70 S, the globe-holder and globe push into a short plastic tube that seems to be either part of the binnacle moulding or includes the green lens and small chrome bezel. Do you just want the globe holder, or do you want the green lens and chrome bezel also?

I believe those cut-glass style lenses are difficult to find now. Surprise! They were also used on Austin 1800s (maybe 1100s too?) in amber and red.
These are modern Lucas and vaguely similar if it's any help. I am guessing the original ones were made in Aust only.

The Lucas part number is 38191. They are available from various suppliers.

Here's an Australian site.

So the new oval binnacle you have is undrilled? If so I can supply the engineering drawing with the precise location of those turn indicator lamp holes.
