Default headlamp adjusting plastic thingy?

The top plastic thingy cracked and the adjustment screw fell out. Are these generic?
Can I use any one from a 60s-70s GM thingy?
I have it held together with a bolt and a nyloc nut and I hot-glued the plastic thingy together for now.

Lets call them semi-generic
GM used several different styles but the ones on the c3's are fairly common for GM from the late 50's up on most any of the full sized chev's, ponchos' and buicks
A well stocked body shop should have some "in-stock"
