Most wholesalers will do a variety box of bootlace ferrules then you just need the tool. Some manufacturers vary the size of flylead according to the device rating so could be 2,5, 4.0, 6.0 etc...

Ferrule kit and self-adjusting crimper in Lidl just now for £15 or so. What not to like?

The colour tells you the ferrule size BUT there are two standards (at least) in use! Some RCBO have different flying lead sizes but likely going to be 2.5mm - 6mm range, strip one, see if it matches a ferrule, crimp said ferrule on and see if it holds.
