There is no complete dimensionalstandard for these plate book holders, but it is almost always possible to adapt without too much skilled artisanal effort!
I have seen these ocassionally on ebay (uk) along with the larger standard formats up to 15x12". Whilst the range of old photographic items on offer is slowly falling away, there is still a good chance. Perhaps within a year or so. Listed prices can be reasonable. If you ask here in a month (when you can enter the for sale/wanted section) you might get a surprise - but don't expect a complete set of 3 to be available!
Whilst there is still new manufacture of ULF plate/plate holders, I don't think that 12x10" is a common modern ULF selection.
I don't think Midland of Birmingham made their own cameras. More likely they ordered a range of cameras from Billcliff of Manchester or even from the local Lancaster & Sons.
