well again, i can't do a complete quote.  this is a weirdly constructed site.  but in the end it may be worthwhile.
that site looks close to the dynakit site.

It says not appropriate for original pots but maybe you could mod them? On the good side, it’s a complete set.

I have gotten some on eBay for my PAT4 on occasion.

It would seen that it would not be that more expensive to make a run of aluminum knobs that were gold anodized.

Antique Electronics Supply has a wonderful selection of knobs. I bought from them before for other projects. Odd address for their site:
yea i should check with them.  i've used antique/tubesandmore/amplified parts for years.  

this eliminating links is getting old.

thanks,

These are for 1/4" shafts, and also work fine with the splined shafts on the PAS.   They also work on 6mm shafts, which some none-USA equipment has,
but when you shop for knobs, you can NOT use 6mm knobs on 1/4" shafts.

OP's inverted pic clearly shows set screw holes on all the knobs.  I would be perfectly comfortable reaming them out a bit with a drill if I were he.  1/4" = 6.35mm.
