Looks the same as the one I have for my old Citation rebuild project. I still have it around somewhere.......
Wouldn't be that hard to make one of those. Get a chunk of wood, carve it up to the shape of the inside of the light cover, then carve another piece of wood to fit the outside contour, but ever so slightly larger to allow for the thickness of the plastic cover.
Then find a suitable sheet of thin plastic - easy enough to find, lay it over the wood mold, hit it with a heat gun until the plastic is nearly melting, then squish the top mold over the top of it to force the shape.
Hold it there a few minutes until it cools, trim the edges to suit and voila! One new light cover!
I think I could do that!
