It would be worth contacting Jenny Blackwell at JBCuttingTools.com. I have bought similar inserts from her at shows, and their postal service is super-efficient.

I am with Niall on this. There are few in the world of ME that are as knowledgable as Jenny at JB Cutting Tools. Service and pricing are excellent. If you want to pay top dollar but get branded Kennametal stuff try MSC (J & L) at Wednesbury. They carry a huge range of inserts.
Sandvik also publish data that you can wade through. Get the insert spec and ID then look through the readily available conversion charts. If it was originally purchased from Chester then it will be Chinese. Even their inserts generally match proper standards.
