Paul,
Autolite made the relay and most other engine electrical components for MoPar in that era. The only aftermarket relays available if not through the dealer were Autolite through Autolite parts retailers. Unlike horn relays, coils, voltage regulators, etc., no other aftermarket suppliers made knock-off starter relays so even in the day they were somewhat hard to find.
