Balloon tyres

On Training Wheels
My Wittekind German bicycle (1940s)needs replacement balloon tyres 28 x 1.70 x 1 1/2 .Ive tried Googling these but have had no success.
Ive stuck on rubber lengths of tube to the inside of my tyres to stop the splits opening and Im reluctantly considering fitting westwood wheel rims with 28 x 1 1/2 tyres .
Ive included pictures to show how the tyre totally encloses the tube doing away with the need for rim tape.Unfortunately the rim of the tyre must also grip the wheel rim underneath to stay in the existing rim .
Id love if someone could tell me please where I can find replacements.
