You will probably have a hard time finding a match. The battery cover is the most lost cover from lack of replacing the worn grommets and the covers go flying at speed.
Once you find one be sure you replace the grommets on both sides and the grommets on the front fender side covers too. You also should tether the side covers. You can make tethers from fishing swivels and fishing line.

You can get aftermarket side covers and have it painted to match at an automotive paint shop that has a paint scanner.

You can buy white side covers and paint them to match from Cyclemax

Or you can buy chrome side covers from cyclemax
https://cyclemax.com/inc/sdetail/gl1500 ... s/79/64767


Both include new grommets.

Tether them to the bike, and you won't lose them again.
