No, since they are not a part of either Jigme Lingpa's or Patrul's sungbum (collected works).

Probably the best people to receive it from at present are Dzongsar Khyentse, Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche or Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche (who is actually a Kagyu master). This is not to exclude the many excellent lamas who can also give this lung, such as Khenchen Namdrol, etc.

Great ! Thanks !  
Could you please share some infos about how one could make this happen, and what the proper "etiquette/protocol" for requesting such transmission is ? Specially when one is not a Dharma Center and not a close disciple, or not even a disciple ?
Thx
It's pretty unlikely that one could actually request and receive this transmission without first establishing that relationship.
The proper etiquette would probably be to create that relationship with the lama you want the transmission from and politely ask for it when the conditions are ripe.
"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa
