Unfortunately only in packs of 100 ! : https://www.comdir.co.uk/carpet-fasteners.html

 

Edit : Search for "Carpet clinch plate" images - this may suit however how do you know the diameter of the male fitting?

The male fitting is 10mm at the head.

Bought a dozen female snaps from Daleys - http://www.daleys.com.au/

 

They think they're the right ones for a 10mm male. I'll update once I get them.

If you are going for the OEM look, the Type 2 clinch plate seems to be the ones used  - (on my 1974 260z anyway).

 

 

Not that these will be visible.

No, you're right, they won't be visible. For the early cars the snap is the triangle one I posted above. I might find some at some stage but it's not a priority now.
