It's simply the law of supply and demand, there are loads more MGBs and Midgets about than there are Dolomites, even though all Dolomites share a disc, they are not a frequent swap item, so no supplier is going to order 500 sets at a time to get the cost down. I doubt even Rimmers keep more than half a dozen pairs on the shelf. Because they have to pay more for small quantities, they pass this on to us (no doubt, with interest)
