Thanks for the info.

Given current CAM capabilities it would be straightforward for someone to make one from flat plate.

I recall that there was a program available from the IHPVA that would print a pattern for a chainring of any random tooth count. It was up to the user to print this out, glue it to a sheet of aluminum, then drill and file until done. That’s how they did it in the ‘80’s.
