I know the fuses you're talking about. Have you tried asking Phil, here at PartsShop, or your local Mercedes dealer?
Meanwhile, if your fuses aren't burned, and the ends aren't worn/corroded through to the insulator, you could try cleaning them, and the fusebox contacts with some fine abrasive or a wirebrush, bending the fusebox spring contact to tighten it's grip, and perhaps applying some silicone paste at the contacts to prevent further corrosion.
If finding those short fuses turns out to be too big a hassle, you could replace the fusebox with one that accomodates more common fuses (either new or from a salvage yard - many '70s - '80s Mercedes & BMWs had auxiliary two-circuit fuseboxes that used normal-size German fuses), or wire in a pair of temporary inline fuse holders.
Happy Motoring, Mark
