Possibly. What I can’t figure out is whether you can convert the stirruped crown/bridge mounted ones to direct mount. I actually have a pair of Mafac knocking around... with the centre bolts.
Skülly-
As far as I'm aware, you can - I don't think Weinmann made a different version for direct mount. With the stirrup removed, the pivot bolts should have enough thread left to screw into a boss. I don't know what the boss spacing should be, but I can measure my (crown-mounted) ones to figure out what it is likely to be?

Would a pair of Weinmann centrepulls work? Available for about twenty of your English pounds on eBay. Second-hand MAFACs will be more, as they attract the Compass Cycles randonneuring tax, but last I looked you could get a used but workable pair for about fifty quid.
