How to replace old exhaust fans in bathroom and kitchen?

I have 2x old Mistral wall exhaust fans that have a 300 mm x 300 mm shroud going through a 220 x 230mm hole to the outside of my home. I can only find 150mm exhaust fans at bunnings. Both these fans died a long time ago (they just rattle whenever you turn them on) They really need to be replaced.

I'm looking for advice as to what my options are? should I attempt to fill in the internal wall holes to make it a 150mm hole or should I try to source a like-for-like replacement? 

It looks like this product wouldn't even cover the massive hole that was made in the wall to accommodate these older fans.

Here are some photos that show the issue I am dealing with.
