[edit]: Nevermind... C-11561 is a faceted post.
this shop in The Netherland has white posts.
Are these the right ones?

Nope, those are faceted posts.
Quoted from Pmaino:Does anyone know a cleaner to clean white posts? The main reason for looking is some of mine are yellowed. Maybe soak them in a bleach solution?
Bleach doesn't do anything.
Take a look here for de-yellowing plastic: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/say-goodbye-to-old-yellowed-plastics
Could it be these Gottliebs from PB Resource? (There's also the question of whether those are the original Stars posts).

No, the stern posts are only once piece. Those two-piece posts are really only used to hold plastics and not take direct ball impacts.
Allied Leisure games have similar smooth posts as the stern posts. I'm not sure if they're identical or not.
Interesting coincidence...this just popped up:

I ran into the same problem. I really wanted to replace all the posts in my 1977 Stern Pinball. But I couldn't find any smooth posts - so I eventually just cleaned each individual post with 99% isopropyl and re-used. Not dazzling, but not horrible either. As long as you haven't painted anything on the playfield bright white, it shouldn't be that bad.
