I managed to find a 6x6 carrier for the Slide King, but it seems to be a different size from the Gepe 6x6 mounts. It may have been modified, and maybe I could have it modified again.

I cut some prototype mounts from 4-ply mat board by hand for the lantern carrier, and it worked nicely. They're just like two window mats taped together back-to-back, with the slide taped along one edge inside so the film can expand and contract in the mount without buckling. I was thinking of ordering some mounts from one of those places that sells custom cut mats to order, but then got busy with other things, and now I'm thinking of just getting a better mat cutting setup and cutting them myself as needed, so I would be able to cut different formats and crop the slides individually.
