Default Push button door locks?

The door locks on the GTO (photo 1) are typical of the protruding type of the era but vehicle design standards have relegated them to the distant past. Kit builders have been using the rear hatch lock from 1977 Honda Civics but there are none about these days.

The pull tabs (photo 2) would be simple to make but I just can't find suitable key operated locks. Is anyone aware of any relatively modern car or popular restoration model, which uses a lockable push button type lock - more likely to be fitted to the boot/trunk? Thanks.

Note: MGB locks are too big.
