Brake caliper placard

I know the little "Mercedes-Benz" logo placard on the brake calipers doesn't have a separate part number, but one of mine broke off and I don't feel like buying a whole caliper just for the stupid little placard. Anyone know how to go about digging one up? eBay is no help.

I'm curious about this too, I like the little detail of these on the caliper.
I'm under the impression they are not available separately but I should probably look at EPC.
I figured that if I encountered this I could make one or two. They are aluminum with a couple of solid pins for push-clip attachment. I suppose that you could also make a steel version but would need to prep and coat well as rust would be an issue.

Yeah I'd even take a crappy one, I'd paint it and put on a new decal anyway. The broken off one just looks terrible as-is.
