The rundown: Old building, Bathroom fixtures mounted to
plywood and tile cut around their footprints (why? I have
no idea). I will be replacing fixtures, but mounting on
top of tile this time, so I'll need to fill in
discrepancies in the footprint. I have not been able to
find matching floor tile, but I do have a couple pieces
that should be sufficient for visible areas.
Someone recommended that I use quick-setting concrete to
fill in for 1/4" thick tile -under- the fixtures (not
visible). Any recommendations on brand/type of concrete?
It would be great if it set in a couple hours.
Concrete wouldn't be good, aggregate is too large. You could use mortar -
the stuff used for laying brick/block - either Type S or N. You could also
use thinset. None of those will set in a couple of hours, need about 24 to
set firm, 72 for partial cure, 30 days or full cure. Biggest advantages of
all are that they are inexpensive, readily available and easy to use.

How about this:

Says it sets in 4 hours and can be grouted same day. It's also $6 and the
right size for a small job.
