Digital mapping in .dxf or .dwg formats

I am working on a compensation scheme relating to land acquired by compulsory purchase about 5 years ago. I therefore need to obtain Ordnance Survey digital mapping WITHOUT a new bypass on it.

Xxxxx my usual suppliers cannot supply other than the latest version.  The British Library can supply paper versions (subject to copyright licences etc.) but I cannot find anyone able to supply a .dxf or .dwg plan from say 2005.
