MacClip with broken socket(s)

A month or so ago I bought a MacClip on eBay (with the ultimate goal of running Minix, Common Lisp and a lot of that fancy Mac Plus software on my childhood Mac512ke!). Unknown to me at the time, this MacClip had a couple broken sockets.

I know these old plastics are brittle, and I would imagine even the non broken sockets are close to snapping if I try to put it on. While I’m cool with doing some minor soldering / de-soldering; is this even possible to get these sockets in the modern world? If so, what would I search for?MacClip.jpg
 
They're piggyback sockets. Do note that the Thomas&Betts/Ansley ones you find on google under that description are not what you want. Do yours have any manufacturer markings? Connector manufacturers tend to scrub info from the web, and it's hard to find catalog info about old parts.
