But its only purpose is to keep dirt out and allow the reservoir to "breathe".  Might just use black tape around the perimeter to fix it until you get a replacement.

Went back through some old notes.  Believe this is the reservoir/manufacturer: 6 Quart Multi-Purpose Tank - Threaded Neck - Flambeau Fluids

Since its only function is to keep trash out see if you have any other cap that will fit.  Diameters and threads are pretty standard.

Just went to Home Depot and bought a standard 2 1/8" lawn tractor gas cap for $4.48, perfect fit.

Nice find Dave. It is probably vented too which is OK.  I like simple and good. Same thing at Amazon for about $2 more with Prime Shipping.  Nearest HD is 17 miles.
