Dick Smith used to sell just the plugs and you could wire them on yourself, I know because I bought some in the past.
I thought Jaycar might have them as well, but they only sell the C13 etc now: https://www.jaycar.co.nz/iec320-240v-fem...t/p/PS4006 Even element14 and RS-Components don't seem to have the C7, not even Digikey has them, although they do have products listed in the category of C7 connectors, they are not - which is strange. I'm sure there are plenty of surplus NOS plugs lying around in basements in various countries, but I expect the demand for such a thing is so low that any large scale retail stock of them is nonexistent. If you really wanted just the plug itself to attach to an existing cable - it appears you'd have to get it from China: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005227300985.html (and cross your fingers that the contacts are made from something better than dross-plated pot metal, and that the plastic housing can withstand temperatures above ambient!) (Well - it's probably not that bad - but if you did get them - buy a few and practice soldering very quickly, because the plastic on the Chinese-sourced plugs is usually NOT high temperature rated at all, when it really should be.)

Elive have them. 1 business day free delivery in Auckland.
These leads and plug type are very common, try an Op Shop or Salvation Army Shop, they normally have a drawer of them. Make sure you get the figure-of-8 type and not the lead with an oval shape of the same size, also very common.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
