Parts like this changed over time. Best to always mention the year of manufacture of your bus and sometimes better to mention the month also.

About a year ago I was looking for the same thing. Wolfsburg west was not reproducing them, and the sales rep didn't know if anybody else had them in stock. Classifieds rarely have an offering and are too expensive for my taste. I will just do without until somebody makes them. Mine is a 65 SC.

Before Christmas BBT were advertising that the church key style escutcheons for barndoor and early splitties were back in stock. I'm going to guess that they supply WW etc.

I've found one or two, but the older repros are looking, well... old. Sellers might not know the difference and pics can be hard to tell. So at least one of mine is a repro taken off another truck truck after 30 years. There's a thread on the differences between years as well as OG or not.
Try your local VW FLAPS if you have one; mine had what I am assuming was a WW or WCM repro still sitting on the shelf.
