They were marketed on the civilian market by Corgi and Excelsior, so maybe search those as well?
A lot of spares here https://www.for-sale.co.uk/welbike

I guess the paths/roads would have to be reasonably ride-able (e.g. not muddy, large potholes, etc.) for these to be effective during WWII?
I imagine the bikes would save the soldier's legs for when they were really needed.
