Maybe you could consider making them a little longer , like 2 cm ? .
It wouldn't change the visual aspect very much , but setting the bushings further apart would be an improvement .

Then,,, they would have to be sold in pairs, but its a thought, of course we would get all the geniuses saying things like it would greatly affect handling becoz of the change in trail etc

Trail etc could remain the same .
just the top bush would sit higher .
Of course it would give some the option of setting the slider lower if they wanted to increase trail or fork travel ..

PLEASE no need to tell me other people are making alternative brakes for Commando's.
This is MY version.
some details
320mm disc x 5mm thick
6 piston caliper
NEW specially cast slider
the standard master cylinder sleeved to 1/2" will give a perfect 28-1 ratio
over 1kg lighter than stock set up
still retain the lower fender mount
no mods to your forks, direct replacement
changes from the prototype to production models will be
disc will still be retained by the 5 original studs
caliper will be black with Norton script
slider will be polished of course.

it will be quite sometime before the kits are available,
I have a few other products to get off the ground first, but it WILL happen,
as an example, it took me 12 mths to produce the replica 260mm TZ350 4LS front brake, similar time to produce the replica early Commando front brake.
this Commando disc brake kit is not to bad as there is only 3 main components to manufacture.

something to be careful with is putting the Norton logo on any part. There is a high potential of copyright infringement with Andover Norton, and the New Norton Motorcycle company. I would assume they have protected themselves from infingement and don't want others to cause "confusion in the marketplace" by others selling goods with their name on the product. Corporations spend big money to make sure no one uses their trademarks or other copyrighted material.
Just giving you a heads up that can prevent a costly legal assault.

I converted this one to DOHC and 125cc, top speed 80mph
the other one I have is a 125 model (Taiwan) bored to 140cc hence the Madass140, I fitted cam and carb etc , it has top speed of 80mph also
