Super-16 projectors are very rare, and I've never seen a portable one. It's a long shot, but have you tried talking to the BBC? They used to have a fair number of double band portables, and it's possible that they've converted some to Super-16. (they did make up a 9.5mm gate for a Cintel Mk. 3 telecine, so anything's possible). The only official Super-16 conversion, i.e. not do it yourself, that I've seen is the Kinoton one that the NFT have on their machines, and I wouldn't want to think about what that costs.
Take care handling Super-16 prints; the frame comes very close to the edge of the film, as with standard-8 and 9.5mm, so any edge scratching will be visible.
