In the 1980s we bought new Tally light lenses from RCA Broadcast for our TK45s and 47s until on a remote one weekend we refueled at a truck stop.
One of the camera men dragged us into a section of the store and there for 7 dollars each were the exact red tally light lenses we had been paying RCA 76 dollars for! Seems RCA was using standard D.O.T red lenses and making bunches of money on them.
We checked and the ones from RCA had the exact same D.O.T. number stamped on them. All this was in the early 1980s, so I do not know if they are still the same or if styles and D.O.T standards change over time or not.
I hope you might find what you need for much less money than having them made might be.
