Measure the diameter of the pulley and go to your local junk yard and match it up.
They are used on a lot of different models.
The pulley on my 84 was 'bent' but I just used a pry bar and went around it and straightened it.

I am not sure going to an Australian junk jard is going to help. Maybe mine is bent because somebody was trying to get it on or off without using the right tools.

The puller tool pulls from the center, don't use a 3 jaw puller on the outside of the pulley. You'll bend the pulley up. Is there a tool rental place in your area that you could check?
There is an installer tool also, it uses a thrust bearing to ease the process. In a pinch you could use a long threaded 3/8 bolt, nut, & thick washer to pull it on, use plenty of lube to help it go on. The center of the pulley must be flush w/ the pump shaft snout.
Almost every car I've seen w/ p/s has a ribbed pulley, the c4s are the only ones that have a smooth one, the pump runs backwards.

Would a warped pulley cause a problem / much vibration? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I doubt it's vibration you would feel, but if it changes with RPM, anything is possible.
Here is the tool set to remove and install the pulley:

You don't want to use jaws or you'll warp the pulley.
