I would look at Spectrol pots.  Tony Allgood has apprently switched to
those, they are available in most countries.  A quick glance doesnt find
exactly what you are looking for however.  There is also Omeg which Tony
also uses.  

I've been using Panasonic pots.  Europe availablity may be sketchy but they
are available in both mounting styles and built like little tanks ( cast
aluminum vs plastic body ).

Oh, Omeg's website :
