I still run my auto hubs. But when i break then i would fit AVM hubs.
You could try www.team-bertelsen.dk or www.jyskoffroad.dk , they are afterall in europe, could be it was easier ?

I personally woudlnt go aftermarket hubs again... I used to run auto hubs.. but changed to manual to allow me to use 2wd low range - towing etc.

I first wheeled my rig after a engine rebuild and put some aftermarket manual hubs on it.. and gave it a hard wheel.. drivers side exploded on a hill climb with a fair amount of ruts (front air locker)

If i were you.. i'd try to source some geniune nissan hubs.. ive been runnin them since and havent had any dramas.. they do explode , but im of the personal opinion they're a fair bit stronger than the aftermarket ones.

IMHO i would run AVM, granted the nissans are strong, strong enough to break a CV, seen it happen a couple of times (Front airlocker). I would rather change a hub than a CV. ;)
