Hi Dean.  I would think any LBS could order them.  If not, try ebay.

These would look nice because they would match the purple in the 855 sticker

I think there would be enough to do both front and rear shocks.  The little hole would be perfect to pass the valve through.

I run a lizard skin on my animal's noleen shock. You just cut the boot to fit. Keep the extra you cut off and use the excess to make a nice headset seal. I was able to make two seals one for the animal and the other for my M2 hardtail.

I found the standard sized chainstay protector can be used on the body of the shock beneath the spring to protect the shaft-keeps your spring exposed for those that like that look.  One will cover 3 shocks.
