New cabin home is missing 2!
Don’t want to replace all and even something similar The two missing ones are strange double boxes with outlet on one side and coax oth the other. I just need an outlet on one side and blank on the other. These are metal and pained brown  Attached File |

There’s about a million of different custom plates.
Try an image search , you might find it. You might find a matching double outlet like it. They sell blanks to fill in one side, plastic but you could paint to match. A place called restoration hardware used to sell a lot of that type. Probably easiest to find a dark color plastic version. |

Use the AI image reverse search.

So you want a double outlet plate with outlet access on only one side?

I would make that one room a different style...Either you spend a ridiculous amount time and energy trying to find a random design from 20-70 years ago or you spring for a new design for that room that you like.

They look like they were cut out from Dutch Windmill Cookies.

See if someone with a 3d printer can make one out of plastic.

I'm currently restoring a home where I've got someone 3D printing all of the wall plates which are a much more intricate design than the one posted. |

If that’s the case then as others have suggested 3d printing may be the only way to get them. |

You said you could go with the outlet on one side and a blank on the other. If you don't care about the coax side, you could easily add a second outlet and go with something like this:

I use to piss off contractors all the time that thought they could use our LV AV pull box as a route for their HV runs. “You what this is going to cost for me to move this?” I don’t care because if you were in the planning meetings you would have known you need to pull power nearby. So you’re paying for it. And read the prints, dumbass. |

The location does not need double outlets Put I probably will put in there Codes? I'm now in Rural Arkansas

The location does not need double outlets Put I probably will put in there Codes? I'm now in Rural Arkansas I get it. No code enforcement around here either. That’s why all the older homes burn down all the time. Besides, that 120v can induce noise into your cable signal if not terminated correctly. |

Has a divider to keep them isolated. |

Push back about a foot of coax into the wall and leave a few inches in the box. Double up on the outlets and use the available double plug plate. |
