I was looking at TA and Stronglight.
But I just discovered TA are still making chainrings for Pro 5 Vis (Cyclotouriste):

Which seem to fit a Stronglight 49D too.
Edit:
Apparently BITD a common option was Stronglight 49D + TA chainrings
And it seems modern TA chainrings have the tooth cut centrally (ie cut on both sides) and work better on modern derailleurs.
