Plastic target marker

A while ago I found a plastic target marker, it has different diameter stems for 7,62 and 5,56 and is all but impossible to dislodge in windy conditions, a 100 times better than the standard hair pin and cardboard type markers. Sadly it is now rather the worse for wear. Does anyone know where I can buy replacements from?

I dunno, but if you find out, let me know!

Trick would be to keep the plastic stem and add new cardboard?

The stem is moulded into the disk and is starting to get a bit fragile in that area, it has been so good I am tempted to try and repair it with a hot screwdriver to melt the plastic together. It really is that good!

If my eyes serve me correctly there is text embossed around the stem, any useful info there?
Leave it with me, I may have a lead!

It says Ivor Macleod Training Systems - They appear to be a Canadian company but without a website or any other information.

This is the best I could find, close, but not the quite the same.

I could make one out of aluminium I suppose however I am not sure I would want to shoot it afterwards nor what would happen when it did get hit
