Thanks G-man. Have been burned a couple of times recently with extra charges imposed on imports from the U.S. hence request for UK supplier. In the interim went back to David Silvers site looking from something else and "Lo" as they used to say, replacment points ARE listed, why didn't I spot them before. (Silly old bugger I hear you say - probably). Have ordered.
So now I can change the the lot with new pattern coils, condensers, plugs and points. This should eliminate ignition as a cause of the misfire under high speed load. (famous last words) If it is still there it must be fuel/carb mustn't it but what to do if is. Carbs have ultrasonicked, all new jets etc, setting gauge made, which did up show a discrepancy and they have been sympathised to the nth degree.
What sweet joy it will be when she revs out clean to the red line and I will be able to sleep nights.
Yours the Optimist.

I thought DSS had them, but couldn't find any when I looked.

I have an advantage as I make regular trips to the USA and can bring small things back with me.

Small things only ? I once took a nice CB77 crank with me...
