(In search of) Presurrender films

[Kerry Smith]

For the past several months I've been looking haphazardly in and around
Tokyo for a handful of presurrender/wartime films,  with mixed results.
Finding Rikugun,  for example,  was easy enough, but others have been more
problematic. I finally got around to asking Toho Tsuhan Service/Kinema Club
to send a catalog (thanks to those on the list who mentioned this source a
while back) but in the interim I wonder if anyone has had luck obtaining
copies of, for example,  Nishizumi senshachoden (1940),  or Chokoreto to
heitai (1938, Toei),  and if so,  from where?

Thanks very much.
