Old Glory does its Indian Mutiny Afghans and its Pathans with separate shields. There are two styles, one of which is the multi-boss dahl (the other is smaller and bossless); problem is, I don't remember which is which because I mixed them. Old Glory will know, and has been helpful in the past with making up special orders of weapons etc. not normally sold separately.

If you manage to find a supplier could you please let me know please....

I'd like to add some to the Artizan collection too!

BTW, Artizan used to sell (from the the old-ish range of Moors/Andalusians a pack of shields- or maybe I just requested one when Mike and Dylan were both running the company before the trek over to North Star- I can't remember the exact details of the transaction but they were very helpful. some of those shields would be fine with a little filing.

The Humble Brass Drawing pin will serve for the plain types in 28mm, and if you want the 4 bossed version then 4 dabs of super glue gel will do the business.

The shields you want are indeed done separately by Foundry for the Sikh Wars Irregulars. Just ask them for some. You could also checkout Dave Thomas to see if he has spares. How many do you actually need?
