Ctrl and Fn keycap labels for laptop

This is a rather unusual question, and I'm hoping someone can help.
I am trying to source some durable keycap sticky labels for laptops where the keyboard has the Fn key to the left of the Ctrl key, which is deeply annoying since it differs from a normal PC keyboard. The two keys can be logically interchanged via a BIOS option, but I would like to give the resulting keys the correct identity, to avoid user confusion.
The obvious answer would be to physically exchange the keycaps, but for this laptop model it isn't possible because one key is somewhat wider than the other.
Does anyone know where I might obtain some Ctrl and Fn stickers which will remain stuck and also keep their legend clear, for as long as possible?

Thank you! You are a better Googler than I!
What a pity one would need to throw away 99% of the labels...0 -
I know what you mean about key size ... on my Dell laptop the Fn key is to the right of the Ctrl key, and it is a standard key size - the Ctrl key is ~50% wider.0
