Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 only came with OEM PC's. I dont think it was ever released to retail. So you wont be able to find a legit way of downloading the iso.

When I needed to make a SLP disc I sourced it from My Digital Life forum. Could pick from a single DVD ISO or the two CD ISO's.

You're right in saying that it was never available to buy as a boxed product, but it's available on the Microsoft Technet site, so I assume it was at least available as an OEM product. If you have a Technet subscription you can simply download the ISOs.
