How does one obtain an old version of these utilities? Do you mean you just have an old mac running old OS X somewhere?

You can download 5.6.1 from Apple:

You will need to manually unpack it via pkgutil/tar. However, it will won't run under 10.12 since it requires an older version (Mountain Lion) of Apple80211.framework. Assuming you have a copy of the older framework, you can make it work.

Fortunately, someone has already done this work:

you can just run the application if you have an old OS installation on another volume.
