Maybe the dimensions match a modern vehicle's leaf springs? Start at the local junk yard...

Leaf spring work is cheap. Get the measurements and have a shop make them up. Those fancy rebound clips on them are another matter and will have to be hand made.
By what I know of spring work I have had done in the past, an attempt to salvage spring material off scrap truck's leaf springs will be way more work than it's worth.

Commercial truck spring shop
I'd be straight down to a commercial truck spring shop and just get them made Shouldn't be too much, and you'd have an end result that worked.
