If you were to order enough, a good millshop and/or lumberyard could supply 1/2" x whatever-3-1/2 or the 5-1/2 you see in the first picture.
If you can live with 3/4", then any lumberyard can supply it in 3-1/2, 5-1/2, 7-1/4, 9-1/4 etc.
The extra 1/4" thickness is where the special order comes in.
It would be a waste, but you could have them plane down the 3/4 to 1/2.
A rough lumber mill could give you that thickness, dress the edges and even plane/sand to give you exactly what you want.
Most cases, poplar is the stuff to get-esp. painted moldings. Staining poplar takes a little art and has some color limitations (it starts out a bit green in color).
Sort of readily available-1/2 x 2-1/4, maybe 3-1/2 ROUND edge base and casing (the casing a bit thicker than the base so the base butts into the side of the casing. You'd have to rip off the rounded edge to get that sharp corner you want.
WindsorOne makes some primed fingerjointed square edged trims-3-1/2, 5-1/2 probably 7 and 9 and a qtr as well. Nice clean stuff-you'd only need to top coat (paint) it. REAL LUMBERYARD again.
When all there is left is Home Depot and the others, don't bother coming back here to ask where to find something. It'll be too late.
