Richard,
It's supprising how much of the old skills are going away. The newer
radiators are
partially made of plastic. So the old shops can't do much with them. Then the
shops go out of business. Bummer.

Unforunately, no. I'm not sure but I think that some other cars of
that era, like the TR-3s, MGAs might have use similar heaters. I
remember a round heater in
my old TR-3s. I went looking through Moss Motors on-line catalog and found a
round heater core for a Healey 100-4. It was $800. So your $300 for a Rover
core isn't bad. Here's a core for a TR3 at $500:

As a last resort, it seems to me that one of the aftermarket AC
companies makes custom items. I thought the company was in GA or
FL. Doing a google search
I see a couple of companies in TX. So maybe that's where they
are. But it would
be worth a phone call to see if the can do custom work, if so, send
them a picture
of your heater core and some measurements and see what they give you
for a quote.
Here's a place list Morgan heater core replacements:

For Morris Minor, Rover, Morgans for $500
