dometic (A&E) 8500 awning - lift-arm handle replacement

Looking for a replacement lift-arm handle for my Dometic (A&E) 8500 awning. It has a ROUND shape base, which is different from the one that appears (SQUARE) when you Google for that part description. Apparently this particular model was manufactured for a only short time before Dometic reverted to the square design. I've inquired at a local RV dealer, and they were in contact with the manufacturer, who confirmed that the part is no longer available. Their suggested remedy: purchase an entire new awning!

I am hoping that someone has one of these round handles in old stock, or knows of something in a boneyard. The handle is missing; I've attached a photo of the remaining handle.

Any information about where I can find and purchase such a handle would be appreciated.
