Ouch.... £55 for a steel pressing is obscene, even by Volvo standards. Have you tried FRF or Volvopartstrade on e-bay?
Not sure if any FoMoCo items will fit - maybe Ford Kuga? FYI they are not strictly necessary and they're not an MOT test item (unless they are insecure) so you can just remove them. I've did this on my old Mk 1 C70 T5, I did wonder if wet braking would be impacted but had no issues. Does it look like this one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-F...kAAOSwXoJbMlbR

Back in the day when I was biulding rally cars we never fitted the dust covers or backing plates on disk brakes. Never had a problem, wet dry or dusty.
