An important detail in the OP is that VP has another one of these. If so, it may be possible to look at the corresponding part in the original one and read the manufacturer (Toko's?) part number which is often stamped in a circular ring around the top of the can.

Just having that number would be a start: Then would begin the worldwide search for a replacement, should one still exist somewhere. If you can't find one maybe there are old Toko data sheets which state the electrical characteristics.
