Understanding Electromagnetic Duality in Free Space without Sources

What is electromagnetic duality for Maxwell's equations in free space without sources? Is this symmetry valid when there are conventional sources? If not, what hypothetical additional sources are needed to restore duality symmetry?

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
