while I continue to try to get my hands on an original part, I went ahead and printed the model I built based on Lichtbringers generously provided images and measurements.
I split the piece into two parts so that it could be printed without supports.

then I . .. well, printed it.

And then I glued the two pieces together, aligning the bottom platform and making sure the lens flange was even all on sides.

The print quality wasn't as great as I would have liked, but that was entirely my print settings. Once I get my hands on the real McCoy and can make sure my model is accurate I'll print a few at the best settings and see how them compare.
