They can order it but imply that it’s not UK stock and will take 6-8 weeks to arrive. Mine has the winder towards the rear of the van, so is yours unusual?
Dunno?!
Is your winder over the passenger front door?
Drop them a line? If they can source that lot there's presumably a good chance they could get you one?
Perhaps have a look for a Fiamma F45s California rear cap, usually the winder bit is to the rear on a standard T6/6.1. It looks like your Fiamma is off a Cali, but put on the other side...? The less popular option, but must be gettable?

I ordered mine from mine from here - Fiamma F45S Left hand Winch Cover - Black
I had to wait about an extra week for them to order it in from Italy but I have it here ready to fit now to replace my corroded original one

Is it a simple swap?
A couple of coats of matching Hammerite would be easier, but @moomin-j recently did this job with the aid of his 16 year old son, and strong wrists!
When I was waiting for my new T6.1 to arrive November last year, I decided to order from Uk, the extra door seals. I put them on my last T6 and wanted the same.When I took delivery of T6.1, it already had the extra seals fitted.
Since then, I have been sick of the waterfall from my pop up roof when opening door when raining. Looking at the Reimo rain gutters, I decided to use the door seals instead , by just carefully cutting one side. They work perfectly....and I haven't wasted my money. Cheers.

Gonna do this, a fifth of the cost for what is only a small cosmetic blemish
I have done exactly that. A few coats of smooth Hammerite. Would be a lie to say that both caps look as good as new, but certainly looking much better than they were. Modern Hammerite does seem to retain brush marks much more than it used to. Might go over it with some very fine wet and dry. Considerably less pricy than 2x new caps. Also less risk of breaking screws and then not being able to fit replacement caps.
Be aware hammerite doesn’t fully cure by its nature so you might ‘smear’ the hammerite. Someone I used to know decided to paint a Fiat X1/9 with hammerite and thought the finish was a bit dull so was going to lightly rub it down and then polish. Didn’t get to the polishing as the hammerite smeared everywhere
Thanks for the tip. Might just leave it looking a little rustic then. Looks better than it did and metal protected.
Painting an X1/9 with Hammerite is a bit of a travesty though. My dad had a lovely kermit green metallic one. I am sure the colour had a wonderful italian name. One of the very early ones. It was fab, if not rather impractical as a car for a married father of 2 !!. Now presumably rusted away...
Original Hammerite was lovely but did indeed never really dry.
Then the recipe changed and it did properly dry but was otherwise woeful.
It's now changed yet again and does seem to have recovered many of its original toughness and durability properties and does, eventually, dry sufficiently to allow it to be sanded and even polished. It's getting expensive though. Mind you, what isn't these days?
