[Mattingly], so he could see whether the LM's entire three-legged landing gear had extended properly..." 😁

If I had it I would get a Revell 1/96 scale and use those parts to make it whole as chances of getting an exact replacement is very slim. I would take the aft leg and put it on the right side then install the kit part in the aft location. Once displayed the anomaly will be hard to see.
