You can find a foam supply house and buy high density foam, then carve it (old electric turkey/roast carving knife works well). There are some how-to's and youtube vids out there, if you can't find a supplier for the ready-made back piece. You can also do repair work to the one you have, replacing flattened bolsters, covering over with a thin high density layer, etc.

I have both top and bottom pieces in real decent condition. Old, but still solid and very usable bare foam (no covers, no frames). I'll be replacing my seats completely with a new aftermarket pair so I won't be needing these. Let me know if you're interested.
