All of this makes me start looking at the few Epson digital rangefinders

Not justifying the price but no. The lens mount would have to be  
changed for one with a relief where the "sticker" goes. The lens  
would also have to be collimated too. You could take the old mount,  
machine it and fit the "sticker". This would be cheaper but there  
would be an edge where thechrome plating might start to corrode and  
peel.
