Triangle shaped jigs/adapters for underpinner

I have recently learned that Cassese has (or had) a set of triangular-shaped adapters for use with their underpinners. The adapters are for joining scooped and other challenging profiles. I looked at the Cassese website, but did not see anything like these adapters. Does anyone know where we can get these, and also whether they would work with a Mitre Mite underpinner (which is what our shop uses)?
 
Unaware of such prefabricated fixtures, I made my own. That was some years ago, when I used a MitreMite VN2+1 and VN-42 machines. I gave away the fixtures with purchase of the underpinners. Now I use a machine with a double vertical clamp, which eliminates the need for special fixtures.
 
There are a couple of wooden ones and an acrylic triangle.
I use them rarely, but they're there when needed.
Any company that services Cassese probably has them.
Try Larson.
 
I think we bought ours as a kit when we got the Mitre Mite. It has a magnetic plate and several add ons that are (I think) aluminum and felt.

Before that we had a Pistorious and Andy made these out of matboard blocks taped together in shapes.
