Not that I know off, but it's easy enough to make you own up, using solid core wires and resistor plugs.
Or non-resistor plugs and resistor caps.
NGK also makes a 5K ohm resistor cap, but it of course won't have the Champion logo.
This stuff can be found in quite a few places, Holden Classic is just one source.
The E-type ignition lead set will work with your MK II, it's not in stock, but there will be others out there.
This style that fits the solid core copper wire does not require a special crimping tool to suit the push-in style distributor cap.
You can remove the diamond spear that pokes into the end of the wire and solder the terminal onto the wire, this prevents oxidization.
I purchased a kit from SNG Barratt that comes with all needed parts. It comes in two versions:
the push-in plugs version and the screw-on plugs version. check your coil and distributor cap to see what version you need.
Barratts "genuine" kit bought a number of years back supplied with Champion Bowtie plug caps. Acorn nut coil lead was also in the kit. This was genuine fitment to many Jaguar engines & certainly my 3.8 S Type new. Came complete including distributor cap.
Sheathed form was fitted to some cars.

my 3.8 S type came with Lucas spark plug connectors. Original or not, I prefer the Lucas to the Champion connectors, Lucas makes more sense in a car where everything is Lucas. I don't want to be advertising Champion or any other brand of spark plugs.
**the HT wires connect the same way to the connectors.
Champion plugs were OE on our Jags & the JCNA consider the bowtie cap authentic in their Judges Manual. My car came with Champion plug caps. Even your toolkit came with a Champion plug.

yuk, If they don't fit you will be out of luck. Rock Auto not a good place for Jaguar parts, and no customer service if you need to return parts that don't fit.
First you need to find out what type of distributor cap and coil connectors you have, Screw on or push on?
There are far cheaper ways around this but won't look original. Depends if this bothers you.
As Jose implies you can save money by doing your own assembly. Don't buy junk HT leads or it will look like a firework display under the bonnet at night. You want all that voltage/current to go to the plugs.
If your car is in fact a 340 it might have a side input distributor cap.
