I made my own. Maybe someone can make you one. I don't have any 6 port front covers so I couldn't make one for your engine.

Yeah they are super simple to make. Cut the gasket first, then use that as a pattern.

I used aluminum. There was some concern that the rotating drive shaft might wear its way into and then through the aluminum some day, but others have made them from aluminum with no worries, so I just went for it. Besides I wasn't sure which direction the shaft normally tends to go when the engine is running (whether inward or out) so I figured if it wants to come in contact with the aluminum, the oil that's always there will lube it enough.

I have both the pumps in my junk box, they are different.

The 13b is a little larger, and slightly different shape.

The plates would not be interchangeable.
