Front License Plate Mount

[Abbymax]

The front bumper of a 1968 280SL provides mounting holes for a license plate but a Euro type long rectangle. I am getting my original California black plate refinished and was wondering if there is a commercially available bracket to mount a US type plate without having to drill holes on each side of the plate. Thanks in advance for any help.
