The all glass version is specific. I don't think there's a close repop version but you may be able to match or get close by looking through street rod or vintage car generic seals

IS-LM 121, part number for a chevy door gasket that works, you have to cut some length off but it was the same size, works great and looks factory

it might be, but this works perfect, and they will always make that seal because there will always be a big demand for those old rust buckets
