Default Courtesy / Map Light Help

Hi Everyone,
My dad has a 1971 Corvette that has a different overhead console that we can't seem to identify. The cover on the courtesy light is busted and he is trying to find a replacement.
I know this is an aftermarket or perhaps a taken from another car. I've identified the map light as a Wipac style map light.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I put a few pictures of the light.
Thanks!

You are the man! That’s it. With a little further detective work I was able to find the lens cover part number. Found a NOS part on eBay and its on the way. I also forever have the fact that this was also installed in a Pinto to hold over my dads head which is priceless.

Just curious how how you knew that so quickly.

Thanks again!!
