Yes, no expense spared, and they made at least 3 million of them (DS production ran to just over 1.5 million cars).
I asked at my friendly DS specialist today. Every single one he has seen has polishing marks, some have troughs, few are like mine with troughs and pitting.
The amount of angular movement of the bearing is so small, the rollers hardly move. Needle rollers or a solid bush would have been better.
And then they closed the M25 so my 35 minute journey home took nearly four hours. An oil spill after a crash, the carriageway had to be resurfaced.

Is it not something that can be made? A flanged tube with two taper bearing races pressed in.

Possibly, but certainly not with 'skill set'. I'm still exploring various options. No great rush, I'm six years into this restoration, another couple to go.
