Vent Cover source?

Need new fridge vent cover and microwave vent covers due to hail damage at Sturgis SD. 

One cover  has a hole, the other cracked.  Temp repair with duct tape.  I'll be searching older posts. Anyone have a good source?

Any opinion if this one a direct fit? It seems from info at Amazon the screw holes should match, but perhaps slightly larger over all.
Amazon comments: between 2 bolts 21 3/4 x 4 1/4, Product 26.2 x 12 x 2.4 inches

Mine appears screw holes 4 1/4, 21 3/4, overall size 10 1/4 by  25 1/4

Same part number as at Amazon (MFG. Part No 65528) here, and dimensions same as mine: https://tweetys.com/dometic-new-style-refrigerator-ventaspxaspx.aspx?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PLA&scid=scbplp44848&sc_intid=44848&msclkid=12d691c29a1f10c0b272cd2dd1180378 

Edit: I just ordered two from the Amazon link - delivery 4 June to my mail forwarder (we are about 25 miles away from our mail forwarder right now, so I'll pick it up 5 or 6 June).

Follow up. Installed the new vent covers (2 each) today. Old ones were very brittle upon removal (which is why the hail damaged them).

This was a "almost" exact match: Amazon.com: Ventmate 65528 Polar White Direct Replacement Dometic Refrigerato... 

The dimensions were identical, the screw holes left to right (side to side) perfect match, length ways the holes were off by 1/16" inch or less.  I did get all 4 screws in without drilling new holes, just took some juggling the cover with all screws in but loose, and a very slight angle on last 2 screws each cover.

Came with new screws, but they were not stainless like the original. I used the original stainless screws.
