Mills Bomb No 5: Parts options?

Good day from Alberta. I recently picked up a Mills No 5 and am looking for a few bits to make it whole again. Not a lot of options out there in Canada but I'm hoping to find some in the UK.
Does anyone know of a good vendor for original or repro parts?
Specifically looking for a proper base plug, striker & fill cap.
The grenade has no markings other than a "D" on the front of the body & Center Piece is not marked so I can pretty well put any plug on it as it's age is wide open for interpretation.
Did they make zinc base plugs for the No 5? I found one vendor that has zinc repros but can't find any info on whether they were actually used.
