I don't know who the UK reps for anything are, but the Vactrols are made by
Vactec which are now owned by EG&G Reticon, who used to make the analog
delay lines. Newark catalog lists some vactrols......with decay rates
available from 35ms to 1.5sec, good for making a 1960's compressor in a 
colorful box ;).....but no duals listed in Newark, sorry.
don't know how critical matching is in that ckt, you could always get a few
& try matching singles, or use different limiting resistors to te leds.
