Hopefully you come up with a US supplier that can help.

Hairline fissures and the resulting delamination of the bearing cone cause the noise but it is good that you observe no radial axis runout. I've seen some people look for the source of "road rumble" for months without a catastrophic failure; personally I would continue to my destination while keeping an eye on it.
