I used to work for an industrial supply company. I cannot remember which vendor it was but metal stamps of any kind can be made, including reverse.
Expect to pay a few hundred dollars for a set.

Hi George,
Robert would be the man most capable to reproduce your plates. He tooled up and made the hull tags for my weasel using the same method that is being discussed in this post. Please see photo
Cheers

Thanks Hanno This is what Robert suggested as he cannot do the reverse stamping like the original plates was done If we can get a set of stampes we would have to make a die to punch out the plates and also put the hi border around the plate and two holes at the same time .Then build a gig to do the stamping . I estimate there would be about 100 plates made with these tools .
