Mikey mate ,,well you helped me in a huge way so this is like only a little bit of help from me ,, Tamiya make one ,Dragon make one too .
Dragon Sd.Kfz.167 StuG.IV Early Production ~ Smart Kit DR 6520.
Dragon Sd.Kfz.167 StuG. IV Early Production w/Zimmerit DR 6576
Tamiya TA 35087 1/35 German Sturmgeschutz IV ..old as hell .
Those top two i am pretty sure are your best bet mate and many times better than the Tamiya kit from the 70's

Here is a website with the drawings of the 4 return rollers.

Shouldn't be too tough a task to hammer out.
