I take it you tried calling Siemens. I expect someone could make it if necessary.

I take it that for some reason having a fab shop make one is not an option in this case. :?
While a tad expensive, a good one can make just about anything.
I am not really telling you anything that do not know, but I am curious.
Edit: I missed that Dennis had already mentioned this. Sorry.

While a custom made one might serve the purpose, it wouldn't be a listed product, and then not legally able to be installed...

Eh...the pox on that!!! If it meets the minimum specs, it gets installed IMO.

Any sheet metal shop - and most HVAC shops - will be able to make a cover. It's best if they have a sample to copy. I think the last one I made cost $75.
Any REAL paint store can make you a quart of paint that's a spot-on match with the original.

It is likely to exceed the specs of same original component, in most newer panels anyway.

True but finding parts for old panels is often impossible or just cost prohibitive. That leaves you with a choice of replacing the panel and having one made. Guess which one the customer is going to go for.
