.303 British case neck stab crimp dies

Can you get a crimp die that crimps .303 cases that gives a three point stab crimp finish found on war time cases. Just wondering if a modern factory crimp die could be altered to replicate the original crimp if one could not be found.
 
from what I know of reloading and its not a lot, the modern crimp tends to swage the very end of the neck inward. what you want would be for 3 'punches' to move horizontaly inward some way down the neck. little balls loose in holes pushed in by a cone might do it. or a simple lever worked single punch with the round indexed equal 3 times.
