three options.

A) find a 3x4 knob wind "Graflex 23" (not a Graphic 23) Hard to find, expensive when you do, and not that good.

B) Find a 4x5 lever wind (RH-10,RH-8) for a 4x5 Graflex and have a machinist pare the outsides down. This is better done on the Graflex version over the Graphic version because the flange/spacer/adapter is solid aluminum.

C) Make real good friends with a machinist and see if you can't make an adapter to go from 3x4 to 2x3 so you can use any of the 2x3 Graflock roll backs by Graflex, Mamiya,Wista, etc.
