Isn't it basically a Gaggia-badged La Pavoni? Shouldn't be too tricky to pick up a bottomless portafilter for one of those. Though probably best to check if it is the same as a Europiccola, which version it's the same as (pre or post-millennium). The one I picked up is out of stock (and post-millennium so probably wouldn't have fitted anyway): https://www.theespressoshop.co.uk/en/La-Pavoni-Lever-Bottomless-Portafilter-Black-Handle-New-Group---2953010/m-2157.aspx
I've bought from these guys before and they were pretty decent, couple of pre-millennium offerings here:
