Judging from its photos at the JHP site, your car appears to be a European LHD model without any provision for side marker lights. Is this correct? And if it is, do you really want the US-style lights, or would you be more inclined toward the European-style ones?
With only minor variations, the marker lights used on the JH were also found on MGs, Triumph Spitfires, and other British cars of the period. Due to the high volumes involved, these lights, and their individual components, are still fairly easy to come by. US-style lights show up on eBay fairly often, so if you don't mind doing a bit of hunting, you should be able to find suitable parts for much less than the US$45 each that you mentioned. On the other hand, if time is critical, your best bet might well be to buy from British Masters.
I've attached a good closeup of a US-style light for your perusal. The rubber part of the light in the photo has rotted due to age, so don't be put off by its appearance. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the Euro-style lights for comparison.
