Help identifying window bead

I’m struggling to identify the following upvc window bead that was damaged as I changed a damaged pane. Any help greatly appreciated!

Any suggestions of where I might source a replacement online? I’m drawing a blank!

It's a very old profile so it's very likely all obsolete now, you could try central extrusions in Birmingham

I too are having a problem with a clouding up window to my conservatory, build by St Helen’s Glass in 1997 and now deceased.
Does any know the window system used by them at that time as a local window supplier is reluctant to remove the external beading as it might be brittle and break, and they do not know how to replace it should it be damaged.

Little concerned the local company are worried about breaking the beading! It's actually quite unusual to break upvc beading of everything is done correctly

External beading!

I understand your incredibility but that was 1979 and security has moved on.

Correction should be 1997 not 1979, blame my old fingers!

Even back then , most systems still required you to remove gasket internally first..or had security tape. So actually most systems that are externally glazed are fine ( there are one or two that aren't). No one complains about wooden windows and the majority of those are externally beaded.
