Actually it is. The FN carbine (I'll post the exact model in a minute or two - need coffee first) uses the same basic sight with different graduations & ramp angle and there are NOS complete sight assemblies for it on eBay & GB.
Actual C96 parts are, as you've already found out, extremely expensive. Alvin may have a Mauser C96 button.
Here we go -
M24/30 FN MAUSER PART, CARBINE REAR SIGHT

M24/30 FN MAUSER CARBINE REAR SIGHT
M1922 CHILEAN CARBINE REAR SIGHT
Chilean M1895 Short Rifle Rear Sight Assy
M1895 Carbine Rear Sight Assembly
Graduated to 1400 Meters
