Is there someone who makes the inner piece for a post-4/50 split that is riveted into the pope's nose housing? The bulb holder is fine, but the inner piece is messed up on mine and I haven't been able to find anything other than a complete pope's nose, or only the bulb holder.

I don't know of any. Sounds like something that you could fairly easily fab out of sheet metal.

Looking further at it, doesn't seem like it would be that difficult. Was hoping for an NOS or used piece with rivets, but will start working on repairing mine or making a replacement...
