Unfortunately, Sean, Luna ceased manufacturing woodworking machinery something like 20 years ago. There was a firm in Sweden or Finland who did some spares a couple of years back, but I can't find any reference to them on the web any longer :x
To be frank I think you'll struggle with a fence for the planer. Luna had a distinctive arrangement where the fence was attached to a round bar at the infeed end of the planer. The nearest I can think of to that system is the Felder planers which also have the fence attached to a dovetailed block at the end of their planer/thicknessers. At least with the Felder you can buy the attachment block and the fence so if you can't get one anywhere else that's somewhere to go to. Almost all other planers you'll come across have a fence which attaches to the side of the machine.
The sliding table is possibly a bit more hopeful as I have a couple of photos of the arrangement. The top is little more than a steel (or ally?) plate so fabrication is possible there. The fence bar might present a few more problems if that's gone. although once again Felder sell theirs so they might be worth looking at. It is visible at the back of this shot together with the peculiar-looking fence/mitre fence assembvly supplied with the machines, As you can see it is little more than a flat piece of steel folded over at the two edges, so hopefully you can estinated the length from this photo (admittedly of the spindle, but I believe they utilised the same components as the saw and saw/spindle) and get the width from the existing metalwork:
At least many of the other items such as saw blades, planer irons, etc are standard, as is the spindle moulder (you do have a fence for that, don't you? If not APTC sell a shaper fence which is actually pretty good), which is has a 30mm shaft, so the blocks are readily available.
On the subject of the crank handles might it not be possible to get a 16mm square drive socket (such things used to exist in the catalogues of industrial hand tool suppliers like Snap-On), saw the end off and have a bent steel handle welded on? I even wonder if there's something like an electrical equipment bosx access key somewhere which looks like that, or what about the possibility of getting someone to turn you up some hollow shaft extenders (because I think the ends of the shafts may be too far inside the framework to attach handwheels directly) and fitting modern nylon hand wheels such as those made by
Cotel ("Britain's No. 1 for Knobs"). This is the type of handle they used on the L28 stand-alone spindle moulder and Cotel make somethink very similar (these are generally supplied with a 6mm hole bored in the middle so that you can reamer/bore out to your required diameter):

Is it a round 16mm rod or is the end shaped in some way to stop the handle spinning?
I thought the ends of the shafts were square and the key was a Z-shaped piece of steel with a square socket in one end.
For anyone not familiar with it, this is a W59 (mid 1980s advert):
