I've noticed that the WX081 airflow baffle in the PowerEdge 1950 III obscures two of the three internal USB ports. Does anyone know if there's an alternative which does not obscure the ports?

It's pretty unlikely that you'll be able to find an alternative.
I'd try cutting away those parts of the baffle that are in the way. Close up larger holes that you create to keep the airflow where it should be.
Alternatively, you could check if short extension cables solve the problem.
