Anyone have any suggestions as to where I might find a trim ring / bezel or two for my '49 170A?

Look at some of the auto parts catalogs/websites. Lots of very similar stuff out there. Good luck.

I tried but apparently I'm incapable of sending a PM.

I don't think there is an automotive equivalent for the bezels.
Cars didn't have 3 1/8th gauges and they'd bring chrome, not aluminum.
The 140/120s use the same bezel. Might want to check with their forum.
If you have them but the tabs have broken off, as most have. You can still secure them with a dab of silicon on the back. Mine have stayed on for three years that way.

I have the OEM panel overlay from a '48, complete with bezels. Not sure of their condition, but if you'd like I can take pictures. I'd rather not part it out, but will be reasonable if you'd like the whole thing.

Will take pix this evening. Then the trick will be posting them or getting them to you by alternate means.
