First pic is of an $$ original which is on eBay... it's presently bid @ US$133 with an hour to go ( reserve not met!! ) :O Edit ... sold for US$198
Second pic is a US$13 repro that a couple of STOC fellows make in the UK but they don't have the extra vertical brackets to hang a North American style plate...https://www.sunbeamalpinetigerspares.co.uk/index.php/tiger-parts/number-plate-bracket?lang=en
Pretty easy to make those extra brackets for the plate though
There's an interesting article on STOA site of the numerous types that dealers or P.O's put on . My personal favorite is the one I got on a original series four with rubber mounts that allows the plate to pivot when grounded rather then twisting the weak lower valence.
Moderators notes , members may reply to thread that is either a item wanted OR who makes one... like this but the KISS is to PM the Original Poster O.P.

Warren, the rubber mounts were standard on s3-iv alpines , but to allow you to bend down to use the crank start. It was a cheaper method than the si-ii that used the metal front bracket that was hinged to allow access.
About 20 years ago a club member here reproed the rubber versions for concourse cars as most rubber mounts were stress cracked and dry.
I had a 2 fer and a both yellow resprays. All the stuff went into same pile. No big fins though on either car. Thanks for the correction. I guess it was an unintended bonus as US plates are much wider and it's real easy to ground on a inclined driveway etc. I guess it could also be the old parts they put on what they had left over.
