I don't know if I can be of much help, but I understand the impulse to do what you're doing. You seem pretty clear in terms of focus; we have someone here on the board who's posted a lot over the years and has a penchant for off-brand stuff. You might search for posts by Dave Spiegelthal--I don't have his contact info, but he may have an inventory of instruments such as what you're looking for.
Another source (of knowledge if nothing else) might be Clarinets Direct--he's in the UK, and you probably wouldn't find anything there to be a bargain, but he does have the occasional Malerne, SML, Couesnon, earlier Noblet instruments in addition to Selmer, Boosey, Buffet etc. Usually there's at least one plateau-key clarinet on the website too.
Good luck!
