Searching printables.com, thingaverse.com, and makerworld.com might unearth other printable rubber typewriter parts like feet. (Be sure to search for singular and plural versions: i.e. "foot" and "feet".) Etsy and Ebay searches might uncover others who make and sell the feet you're looking for.

I was able to buy replacement toothed belts from an industrial seller via eBay by measurement. Actual Gates belts. Mine fit a Smith Corona electric 6TE and the part number is 3M315 but once you know the width and length it’s a matter of translating it into a Gates part number.

The long, thin spring-loaded metal flap labeled the "paper conductor" on the SM3 and SM4 and labeled the "erasing table" on the SM2 are all the same part. They serve a few functions.
They can be used for erasing mistakes certainly and help to keep dust and debris from going into the carriage and rollers.
The "paper conductor" description sounds like a fun translation of something from German into English, but this part also prevents the paper which goes under the paper bail and forces it up and back to the paper table and the paper support. Presumably without it, a slightly curved piece of paper might be misrouted to go right back into the platen a second time as the paper advances.
This sort of paper conductor/dust shield can also be found on some later 1960s+ Smith-Corona (SCM) machines. For example, see the Galaxie II which calls that part the erasure table.

https://www.biedlers-belts.com/single-v-belts/polyflex-belts/ This is about the only place that I have been able to find the small V-Belts used to drive IBM and Smith Corona electric typewriters (among others). You can find most any belt you need on this site if you know its dimensions.

Some of the Smith-Corona 6 series machines (electrics) came with copper shipping restraints that were meant to be removed by the dealer prior to sale. Sometimes they can be found inside cases and in other instances, inside the typewriter itself.

Corona had a part number for the sheet of cardboard you’d use to press down the top row of keys before removing the shell of the Zephyr: Part No. ST1243, and it cost 25 cents.
