So where can we purchase these Bung hole plugs?

During an offshore trip I was on last September I noticed a bunch of these plugs in a variety of sizes hanging within the engine compartment near the hatch.

I take an old wooded chair and remove the round spindals in different sizes,carry a few on the boat. The rest I use for clamming.
