Yes, I've seen some of them, but I've not find any in the right lenght I'm looking for (which is intended for a stayer purpose, not for a standard track bike)
It looks like the one in your pic has the stem shortened.
Not for sale, but my Schwinn / Dural is 18.5cm from the top of the bolt head to the bottom of the stem, with
13cm adjust tube reach.
Just for reference.

Could this Not be remade? Looks like it is just pieces of steel tubing & a adjustable brass adapter (the hardest part) ? I would have that welded if it's the length you need ....

I'd take a look at as many period photos of stayers as you can find.
In my experience they are very varied and just modified regular track and/or road bikes with reversed forks and smaller front wheels and relatively upright stems, compared to the steeper geometry of track stems. Although, that being said a very few manufacturers did offer specific models.
Remember that stayers sat far more upright in order to keep their lungs more open for as high an air intake as possible.
In my opinion those extra long stems were frequently homemade, or made on site at the velodromes workshop, so remodelling your example above is not out of the question.
