They definitively are available on their own, and cheap too. A few years ago I payed some 4 ¤ for a pack of 6 caps of 3 different shapes.

However, they are not specific to a ThinkPad or even a keyboard; this might be a reason for not mentioning them on the list of replacement parts for a specific machine.

For example, there are those ThinkPad style USB keyboards that gives your thumbs the beloved Trackpoint/Touchpad/3 Mousebuttons in desktop or docking station environments, I couldn't work without 'em ;-))
