These are known as Gulmite screws, you might try a Google search for that word or perhaps "Gulmite tools" or "Gulmite driver".

Last I heard, West Coach in Chino, California was selling sets of these drivers. This was a couple of years back , but it might be worth checking with them:

West Coach International
13790 Redwood Street
Chino, California
91710-5505
1-800-929-2258 (Phone) - 1-909-434-2085 (Fax)

(Their web page at westcoach (dot) net appears to have been taken over by a graphics design firm, so no help there.)

As a last resort, you could have tools made. I had a #6 gulmite tool made using an EDM wire cutter. I was told by another Crown owner that it would is possible to use an EDM plunge cutter to make tools if I could supply several screws with good heads for each size desired. I don't want to think about the cost involved...

Good luck, you'll need the tools if you want to work on Crown bodies!
