Searching the web didn't yield any OEM levels for my 4x5 Sinar Norma.
I found some "Three Axis 23mm x 15mm T Dual Tube Bubble Spirit Level Screw Mountable" items on ebay. They are just barely wide enough to work. The mounting holes are closer together than the holes in the camera.
To make one of these work for the base of the rear standard I drilled two new holes near the bottom of the "T" and elongated them sideways till the holes nearly broke through the sides of the plastic. I only put screws through these two new holes. I'm quite happy with both the aesthetics and functionality of this replacement. If I were doing it again I probably would put the two new holes up from the bottom of the "T" so that a notch could be used
It looks like it would be even easier to mount them to the sides of the standards. Two existing holes would only need to be carefully elongated out towards the sides.
At $8 for three they seem like a good option. The ebay seller I got them from was jruss71731. The levels seem to be just slightly less sensitive than the OEM levels they replaced.
