Just buy one ...

Or make your own. Easy !
Trespa high pressure laminate or similar is ideal.
You could just buy thick plastic sheet, saw and rout it to whatever size.
Or a pair of these...
These totally hold a board on edge for hand planing.

Searching for 'Meyer' on Thingiverse finds this:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4651858
Do Axminster offer alternatives to duck a l'orange (for their vegan customers)?
In the Axminster photos, most of the setups are using a wedge in conjunction with the clamp. If that is so, what is the advantage of the cam clamp over a simple circle or doughnut over a standard dog?
All I can see is that cam removes the need for a plastic mallet to drive the system.

I think that's the point.
The cam just makes an easy way to multiply the clamping force and no hammer is needed.
Cam has a limited range of movement so spacer bars / one or a pair of opposing wedges are needed when using dog holes set out on a pretty coarse grid.
Cams and wedges are cheap to make.
The Walko / Bessey / Festool make them / and aliexpress versions of the horizontal clamp are more versatile but more costly.
The axminster cams were originally made (in black and white) with a simple small hole in the middle and you ran a screw or dowel straight through into your benchtop. This really was like the Meyer in needing it's own holes. Later Axy jumped on the dog bandwagon and changed to a 20mm hole and added the wedges to accomodate the mft grid spacing.
