Thanks @TTony ;

That model has never been imported by the old supplier (JHS), do you need the concave version specifically?

There's a couple that are similar sizes with flat bottoms,

Closest:

Slightly narrower overall width but basically the same string spacing:

Thank you very much - it's for an All Parts neck which has a curved base so the concave base will be very helpful.

I also want something in a bone white / cream colour to match the cosmetics on this instrument (the black nut jars with my OCD). I think on this occasion, I will need to go to a guitar technician...

If you absolutely must have that particular nut and no other close approximation will do, then you will probably still be able to get it from European retailers like Thomann or via Amazon.  By the time you paid for the shipping, however, you would probably be paying about £25 or maybe a bit more for it.  Although it's a lot more expensive, and would be far too much for me to consider paying for a nut, there is always the option of a custom made bone one from Chris Alsop:
