Default End Caps for Philips Discovery TV

Hi does anyone know where I can find a single end cap for a Philips Discoverer TV? I have a feeling the answer is going to be no! But I was wondering if anyone had started to 3D print them.

I will show my lack of knowledge, what do you mean by “End Caps”?

The covers that clip onto the visors hinges is what I took it to mean.

They are usually missing

This.

Crossed with Mike, they often seem to go missing. I also believe the left and right may be different, but I may be wrong.

At one display I did I overheard a wife asking her husband what is that, ....
the answer, its a Henry "hoover". I think its the feet that look like wheels that caused the confusion. .
