Try Hope Technology: https://www.hopetech.com/

British purveyors of fine MTB brakes and hubs in particular but they do a variety of parts. They did, for a while, do a run of 3-bolt rotors for a ridiculous proprietary Cannondale disc-brake system.

They won't have 5-bolt rotors in stock but they're surprisingly willing to do custom stuff if you ask nicely. Drop them a line with a pic of the rotors in question.

Thanks all for updates. Have passed them along to the Tandem Trike owner who posted original on a Trike specific site.
