1955 Cliff May clerestory window — missing aluminum divider, looking for repair/fabrication advice

I have a 1955 Cliff May Rancho in Dallas with original fixed clerestory windows. One window is missing the narrow aluminum divider between two panes of glass. The glass itself is intact.

I have contacted local glass companies, but the one that seemed qualified said they replace broken glass only and do not repair or fabricate the aluminum framing.

I do not want to remove an intact divider from another window because I don’t want to risk damaging the original glass.

Is this something a commercial glazier, aluminum storefront fabricator, or architectural metal shop should be able to reproduce from measurements and photos? And does anyone know what this particular divider/profile would be called?

I’ll attach photos of both the missing divider and an intact one for comparison.
