Are these not the same push buttons used on the rest of the 7 line?  They 
should be plentiful.  Who was looking for them?

If you really must have an exact duplicate, if you have one good one, 
ou can use urethane casting resin.  First, using the good part, you 
ake a mold set from silicone molding material, then cast the resin into 
he mold.  I have made duplicate keyboard caps for specialty industrial 
utomation keyboards for CNC machines this way and you can't tell the 
ifference.  It would cost in the area of 50-75 bucks for a kit with all 
aterials required.  Expensive but a perfect match.

 Fred,
 I should stress, use a LITTLE expxy on those lids or they are 
 permanent, hi. Someone years ago went the trouble of somehow filling 
 those hollow pen caps with a resin of some sorts and inserted shafts 
 in the uncured resin and had a nice fit when they cured up.
