Believe the lens gaskets might provide two purposes. One is anti rattle so the glass doesn't vibrate or move in the retainers and second is to prevent any wind blown water getting back into the lamp housing.

If Steele doesn't have it I doubt anyone else will either. On most models which use lens gaskets and nothing is repro'd many have been able to make their own by buying 1/8" thick closed cell vinyl or rubber sheet foam material from places like McMaster or MSC. Am not sure what the originals were made of back then but were probably of a specific thickness. Using the sheet foam, if it is not quite the right thickness it has a bit more give and forgiveness unlike the solid rubber sheet. If you need thinner then some materials come in 1/16" but the choice is more limited and some may not be suitable for UV or outdoor exposure.
