That is probably your only option.
No surplus spares are available, any that might be out there come from disassembled carbines and your chances of finding one is almost nil.
I will be restoring a Metford carbine this winter and will probably trim a commercial Long Lee butt plate i've been hoarding for ages.
There was a tread in the ''Restorer's Corner'', between Bluenoser and louthelou dating from 2014, on that exact subject.
There's a couple of pics showing what needs to be done. It's fairly simple.

I have no clue on how to link another tread here so here's the title :
