Why don't you try to create them yourself? Then you would have exactly what you need.

Goto photoshop, select the thing that looks like a pen nib, select the "rounded rectangle" that appears in the top bar, draw the size you want and make it a light gray, then goto the layer menu, select rasterize->shape, then in the layers box double click the little picture next to the words "shape 1" (or whatever is highlighted blue), then check bevel & emboss, and check gradient overlay.

Thats my advice btw. fiddle with the numbers till its perfect. Then you can paste an image over the top for the picture bit of the slide. Isn't that simple?

These are how the slides we used to have looked;
