Only the brake lever will fit from the Ducatis. The clutch lever does not fit and I don't know of an alternative - yet
A friend of mine saw my bike for the firsttime on the weekend. He is into mountain bike racing, and his bicycles have some pretty trick carbon fiber, titanium, and billet alloy parts.

He was horrified at the length and weight of the levers, and was showing me some of the CNC machined billet alloy bicycle levers that are short and light, and ergo designed to only need two fingers to operate. It's certainly got me thinking....

'05 yamaha r6 brake lever fits, unfortuantly, you need to change the piston in the ktm cylinder to the yamaha one. It's easy to do though and the levers are a third of the price, even cheaper for non brand name stuff.
I'm trying to find the issue here... Are you guys planning on changing levers weekly or something?

The list prices are 70 and 55 euros for brake & clutch. What's the problem

It will fit straight on, but the adjuster is different between the KTM and yamaha, have a good look, you will see what I mean, either way, still a cheaper option than buying genuine KTM.
