I very much doubt that such a thing ever existed. Randonneur bars were very much a French thing. Every randonneur bar I've ever seen was either standard ISO size (25.4 mm) or old French size (25 mm). We stock both of these. 26 mm is the old Italian size, and the Italians were never into randonneurs.
The fad for super wide handlebars arose after randonneur bars went out of fashion, so I also very much doubt that you'll ever find a 44, though 42 is not uncommon.
If you're very attached to your Italian size stem, it's trivial to install a shim to fit standard size bars.
