Watch eBay and GunBroker auctions.  HSc parts are listed all the time.  Good luck:

Okay, news here.
I was able to find a WWII Magazine Safety at a gun store 50km from where I live.I just mounted it and discovered that the problem was not only caused by the bent magazine safety: the slide is also a little worn in the point where the mag safety hits.Problem not fixed yet. My gunsmith suggested me to heat up the mag safety and slightly bend it towards the slide. You think it might work? I don't want to change the slide, it's very hard, legally speaking, to buy one in Italy as it's like buying a new gun and it would compromise my Mauser authenticity.

Warbird:
Your original Magazine Safety was bent and did not work.  Why would you expect bending your new Safety to work?  The original bent Safety could have been the reason the Slide cutout was worn.  I would suggest leaving everything as is since any further modification could ruin the pistol's collectability and therefore its value.

Finally, by replacing the Slide you would lose one of the matching serial numbers and also destroying its value.
