Machine Tech T30 rear hub freehub part wanted

I got a set of Machine Tech wheels off evil-bay. Once I had them in my hand I started inspecting them. The front wheel is in perfect condition, when I was spinning the rear wheel I noticed something that looked like a steel spacer loose behind the free-hub body. (those are the T30 hubs with the really loud ratchet mechanism, very similar to DT Hugis not the earlier ones that were the silent clutch type). After pulling the axle out I found out that the part I thought as a spacer is the flange of one half of the ratchet mechanism which broke off. I managed to extract the rest of the mechanism which was screwed in the hub shell body. This looks like a very specific part (possibly Machine Tech proprietary).
I'm reaching out in the hope that maybe someone has a machine Tech T30 rear hub with broken flanges but with an intact free-hub mechanism which I could cannibalize for my hub.
I will take some pictures tonight of the broken part to better illustrate what part I need.
Any info on possible spare parts for this hub would be greatly appreciated.
 
I finally got to take some pictures this weekend. The innards of this hub are quite intriguing, similar to a DT Hugi but a lot more complex over-engineered to a point that it becomes a liability. You can see in the last pics where the little bugger ring has snapped off. My guess is that somebody tried to mess with it without the right tool and over-torqued it.
My hope is that maybe someone here has one of those rear hubs with a broken spoke flange but with intact innards which could be scavenged...
Or maybe there's another hub out there that uses the same splined setup and spare parts could be interchangeable... I know it's a long shot but maybe somebody out there happens to have one of those hubs that they don't need.
