I never was able to find a replacement flush flange throughull of the right dimensions. Those old ones were beautiful and nicely installed: wish I could have got them out intact too. I ended up having to grind out and rebuild the hull flush, and then mount a standard protruding flange throughull.

I was afraid of that.That expains why the newer seacocks have the big ugly doughnuts on the hull

Look into the Marelon seacocks and through-hulls made by Forespar. I replaced all of the seacocks on Carriden and the new ones are all flush-fitting. The shape and size of the outside flange is different from the original bronze through-hulls, but you can still achieve a perfect flush bottom. As a bonus, the Marelon seacocks do not suffer from electrolysis and they have proper ball valves, which are visibly open or closed and shut with a quarter-turn. Do not confuse Marelon with cheaper nylon or other plastic fittings, they are much stronger.
