There are student and intermediate cors made with slightly more basic conservatiore system keywork - eg. Howarth S20c - this has a LH F key and articulated C# (and can be ordered with a 3rd 8ve key) - but there's no Ab-Bb trill mechanism on the top joint.
The S40c has almost everything a full Gillet conservatoire cor has, except the split D#-E ring and a more basic forked F vent mechanism.
There are some 2nd hand dual system cors (conservatoire with added thumbplate), and these are easy enough to revert to conservatoire system by removing the thumbplate and it's pillars, and then filling the holes where the pillars were fitted.
But on dual system instruments, provided you keep your left thumb on the thumbplate at all times you can use conservatoire fingerings - but remember to roll your thumb onto the 8ve key while holding the thumbplate down as well.
