The closest you will find will be the Grover 309 tuners. They will require at least one new hole, and because the plates are a different shape, it's possible that some lacquer marks from the original plates may be visible after installation. They are definitely a worthwhile upgrade. You won't need to enlarge the post holes, and you'll be able to use the original bushings.
