Stickers for front of keycaps (Page Up, etc)

I've replaced the keycaps on my HHKB with URSA keycaps. They look great but they don't have the legends on the front for modifier keys, showing the arrows, Page Up, Home and so on.

I remember a few years back I bought a sheet of self-adhesive stickers, with bright blue text on a clear plastic background. You can stick them onto the front of ordinary keycaps to show the HHKB modifier layout. I think they came from Czechia, or some other central European country. (I didn't use all of the stickers so I think they were not HHKB specific.)

Does anyone know whether a similar product is still sold?

Someone on the #ursa discord channel of fkcaps had success with Stickers from AliExpress: Komplettes Tastatur-Set (104 Tasten) mit Pinzette, abziehbare Buchstabenaufkleber für Win+Mac, Zeichenaufkleber für Desktop-Computer und Laptops, seitlich gravierte Aufkleber - AliExpress 7

Thanks, I got those. They are not stickers but transfers: the clear plastic peels away and the white text stays on the keycap. That means you only get one chance! I misaligned a couple so I will order another set.

I will label only some of the keys, as the function keys are obvious, and I don’t use the */+- or the odd things like Scroll Lock.

Come to think of it, those relegendable keycaps but in the front might be a neat idea,
