I think Chris is looking for something rather different. The seller offers his sides in several different scales, which itself is an indicator that he uses several different sources (presumably from different scales) rather than exact reproductions of the originals. The seller likely has access to a high-quality laser printer and simply enlarges or reduces the images to suit a given scale. I did something of the sort a good dozen years ago when I took six or eight Westbrook and Champ O scale sides to a local copy shop and had them run on cardstock to preserve the originals. Of course, then I had to hand-scribe the wood to reproduce the embossing--rather tedious.
