PAG in Hanwell can fabricate this stuff from copying the originals or from the RM/RML body drawings which the LTM hold. This gives all the hole positions.

The Beading/strapping differs in profile in one or two places and there are one or two cast pieces too.
Otherwise it is make your own,
I did this on and RT once. Made up a template using strips of hardboard measured and copied from another bus and then numbered and offered in on the work bus to fine check.
Took about 4 hours a side to make the lot.

I can't think of any cast bits off hand but there are at least four different types of Strap plate and moulding if you discount light surrounds. For information on Routemasters there is no beading,they ae either mouldings which go horizontally or strap plates which go vertically. The two waist mouldings and above window mouldings on the top deck are heavier section than the strap plates. There is also the half round moulding used for the advert position. Both types of strap plates are similar in section and profile except those behind the side adverts have countersunk holes. Best bet is to get back to PVS and se if you can get a sample of each and try the people Jack suggests. There are a couple you will find hard to replicate, those around the rear U/S window pans and rear dome for a start so try and get those from PVS if you can.

The most difficult to obtain or copy will be surely the two wiggly bits at the extreme front of the front wheelarches.
