Does anyone know of a 3rd party vendor who might have a 19 rack mount case
for the net5501 boards?

We bought the Kerberos.si 19 rack case, the one shown at https://kd85.com/

The case works great, is sturdier and more professional than the
standard lime sherbert colored case.  I've never liked the barrel
connector for power, with this case the external power connection is a
standard 2-pin laptop power cable.

My only real complaint about all the cases (Soekris and 3rd party) is,
none make the CF externally accessible, nor are trivially modifiable
(e.g. with a nibbler) to expose the card.

You could always get good with a dremel tool ;)  I've done some 
modifications to the original case to get certain pci cards to fit (the 
Rhino 8 port analog card pairs up nicely but requires two cuts with the 
dremel to fit right)
