If they exist, where can I get them?

To my knowledge there is only one place which provide these on a regular basis. They're called Synthwood.com.

But before you go there please consider some of the experiences shared by others on this forum and elsewhere concerning the very low quality of the products/service they offer. I have personal experience with them. I ordered a couple of wood sides for my first Phatty and they didn't fit. Not even remotely. We're talking 3-4 mm off, bad sanding, not straight edges, screw holes 1 cm out of line with where they should have been etc.

Being a woodworker myself I have considered to offer custom wood sides for the Little Phatty myself in small numbers on a purely idealistic basis (I don't expect to make much money on it). I have a Tribute edition and could copy the sides on that one, but at the moment I don't have access to a proper workshop so it will not happen this year...

I would also love to have wood sides on my LP.

I wish Moog would offer this as an option or accessory to buy.

They won't.
The official reason is that they wish to honour relative exclusiveness of the Tribute Edition.

Just ordered walnut panels from Synthwood for my LP Stage I.

I'll let you know how it turns out in a few weeks. Their gallery looks pretty good. So far he's been very good with his communication...

I know there's wood panels for the SP at sweewater and zzsounds,

but paying almost U$100 for two pieces of wood is not gonna happen.

i'll wait for our friend here get access to a workshop ;)
