Here is another add. The casters on the A250 are the one on the right, except of course it does not show as much when installed because they are mounted recessed into the leg on the A250.

FWIW----Some years ago I was able to get a complete set of such feltoid castors (a bit larger sized, admittedly). A local second-hand/antique furniture dealer had a metal file cabinet drawer filled with old castors of all sorts---including the Victorian porcelain and cast brass ones. He explained that when a piece of furniture came in missing one castor, 90% of the time they'd just remove all of the remaining castors and toss them in that drawer. He said the only time they'd bother to match up a set was on dining tables, where the reduced height from removing the castors was especially noticeable. Not having the castors had the benefit of making china cabinets and some bookcases more stable on the shop floor. If you have such a dealer in your area, it might be worth checking with them.
