Jonas, AFAICT URW++ made these fonts available by handing them over to the ghostscript project, i.e. there has never been a "true source" tarball released by URW++ itself (at least this is how I understand it). Ghostscript made these fonts available e.g. here http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/fonts/ before they modified them and integrated them into their own release tarballs.

Seems to me you just provided its most true source, then :-)
