There are probably 100s of sellers but I wager only 5 makers. Finding out who stamped a particular part may be hard to find out since sellers will buy from anybody to keep their stock up. Try one of the Model A parts sellers that offers used parts. They may be willing to cut the area you need out of a badly crashed/rusted body. I suspect however yours is a common rust area and no originals would be available. There are many talented metal workers who could make you a piece out of the same gauge metal. Yes it may have different rust properties but that's not a big deal since most of these cars are no longer driven on icy salt covered roads or left out in the rain for years on end. The downside is it will probably be $100-200 and hour for the man and his equipment.
