Um, no. Current fork with correct steerer tube and short axle to crown length has damaged fork blades. The whole point of the OP's post is replacing the damaged fork.
OP can't find a used fork with short axle to crown length and long steerer tube but can find a used fork with short axle to crown length and short steerer tube.
Solution: Buy used fork with short axle to crown length, take current fork and new used fork to a good brazer and have him swap the steerer tube. Repaint fork. Done.
