Transmitter Mount for GPO No. 121 Wooden Wall Phone

Originally, I have been searching for old Swiss (wood) wall phones when I spotted an interesting looking example on the Swiss auction side www.ricardo.ch

Unfortunately, it turned out to be everything else but an original phone. Someone took a GPO bellset No. 1 and converted it into a wall phone using BTMC parts for the dial and the network. The receiver and transmitter look newer, maybe from an Indian replica.

The wood work of the bellset is in a very good condition and otherwise the phone is in a working condition. I was hoping by upgrading the receiver and transmitter that I could make it look more authentic. I was able to replace the receiver but now I am looking for a solution for the transmitter, more precisely for the swiveling mount to the base, like one from the GPO No. 121 wall phone. I was hoping that someone could help me out with such a mount or at least point me in the right direction.
