Unless you have friends in the UK, you are going to be pretty much stuck with Ebay as your only source.

Here is a British ORP at ebay USA. This is an "older" one. The current ones are called "multi climate":

Here's a tip. Ebay UK has plenty to offer, but no one's shipping them to the US, shipping is to UK only. If you have friends in the UK who would receive and forward, you are miles ahead of most of us here in the US. And, you could probably make a few pretty good trades getting in extra and doing some swapping because, as you can tell, they are difficult to get shipped here.

here's a link to Ration search on Ebay UK. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from= ... n&_sacat=0

i'll say this, you find someone over there to help out, i'll even buy some off you or trade MRE's + $ to help defray shipping costs.

I just bought some French RCIRs and a Danish ration pack from Surplus and Outdoors in the UK, and noticed they also have current British 24-hr ration packs and will ship here to the US. I asked just to be sure, and they confirmed that they can and will ship the Brit packs to the US. They shipped the package fast too, ordered on the 16th and arrived here A couple of days ago.
