I think Alfasud spares online has an original 50mm centre section for sale currently. Freight to Aus might be a killer though. The rear could be made up fairly easily as David notes.
To clarify your comments on switching to outboard brakes, there is no need to change the gearbox and hence run into the speedo drive issues you mention (although, if you did, fit a box from an outboard braked sprint as they retained the mechanical speedo drive). The 33 style driveshafts bolt right up to the sud box, only trick is to make sure you've got the right spacers to suit.
In fact if you really want to, you can retain the inboard setup just for the handbrake, fit outboard fronts, and keep the sud rear discs. Slightly odd, but there you go.
Overall, I agree with your decision to retain the original brakes - I have in my sprint.
