I don't know if they accurately replicate the original stickers, or are just "old style", but there are newly-made ones on here - internal and external:

I am not absolutely sure that they were quite so colourful as the ones in the link, I seem to remember a single colour plastic and another colour for the picture and name.

As an example, perhaps blue lettering on a yellow background.

I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong.

I know the ones you're thinking of.
I have a couple on my car - I'll see if I can photo them later.
They come up occasionally on eBay.co.uk - try 'caravan pennants' or 'stickers'.

Don't pay more than 6d.

what started me thinking about them was, an A35 i seen the other day, and in the 1960's our nextdoor neighbour had one, and used to take me to the seaside (my dad did'nt have a car) and i remember the sticker's of all the place's he'd been on the back window, you could hardly see out of it, lol, just thought it would be nice to buy a few, and whatever one's i bought, go to that place in my pop, then stick them on the car, like a little mystery tour kind of thing,

I remember them, just a plain single background colour
and 'people' used to mount them as a 'pie chart' in a circle (ish).

Cheers, Tony.

My trouble is I never use my stickers, especially those that are outside the glass. I have so many from race circuits and found some in an album today from Donington 1982, still intact and ready for the backing to be peeled off and stuck on the car. They all end up in my albums with the photos of the day. Plus I am on the fourth ring binder of bills and bits and pieces for one car. I found this scan of just a few bits and pieces:-
