medium European shank mouthpiece for oval baritone

I recently purchased an old oval rotory valve baritone. No name brand but I am guessing eastern European. It has a medium euro shank receiver, between a tenor and bass trombone size.

Does anyone have a suitable mouthpiece for this horn they would be willing to sell?

or an adapter to fit a tenor trombone shank mouthpiece...

Denis Wick makes several mouthpieces with the "pre-1974" or "medium" shank. I prefer the Ultra 6 because it is essentially a 6 1/2 AL with a deeper cup that keeps the low range from getting grainy, good tone and intonation in the middle range, and a secure upper range. It is also very similar to the mouthpiece that came with a Russian oval baritone I purchased some years ago that has a small bore.
