it's not hard to fill the gaps with brass. It isn't absolutely necessary to cut slots for the tabbed mounts. I make my own out of bar stock if I'm making a rack with stainless.
Nova sells the llewellyn socketed rack parts

I can't find the Paragon Machine works rack tabs, maybe they are gone. They were plugs
Compass also sells rack tabs
