Alan Gordon Enterprises sells a set of brass Acme Animation pegs ($14.50) that you should be able to use to adapt your Oxberry disc to Acme standard.
Contact Alan Gordon to be sure , but if memory serves , these pegs screw in to the peg bar from the underside of the bar , so it's just a matter of unscrewing the Oxberry pegs and replacing them with the Acme pegs.
Another option may be to remove the Oxberry pegs , then tape down one of the thin metal peg bars available from Cartoon Colour or the better ones available from Mechanical Concepts . (Mechanical Concepts doesn't have a website , but I expect Alan Gordon Enterprises could put you in touch with them since they sell some of Mechanical Concepts products , or at least they used to. The type of tape-down peg bar I'm talking about is made of very thin metal (like a flexible metal ruler) , with Acme pegs soldered or screwed on . Your can tape down these bars on the surface of a flatbed scanner or on a plexiglass disc for animating . You should also be able to tape one down on the existing peg bar of your Oxberry disc if you remove the Oxberry pegs. (second image attached shows a Mechanical Concepts tape-down peg bar on a plexiglass disc)
