Not likely even if they were available. They are fairly specialized, polarized. and requires the right epoxy to mount them in the correct position. Just accept that you need to purchase either a new or used replacement starter.

Starter motor magnets are generally polarized after fitting oonto the body.
Every second that they are sitting in the body without an armature in there they loose strength
So no not a service replacement part .
