I have a lap steel guitar that has no fretboard numbers III,V,VII,etc does anyone know where I can purchase these markings in stick-on material?

Not sure why you would want those, most folks just use position markers at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 17th, 19th , etc. frets.

Position markers can be nearly anything or any shape. Diamonds, dots, blocks, etc.

If this is just for temporary learning curve use masking tape and felt marker, then remove them when you have the positions in your head.
