what I would do in your situation is paint that wood silver until I could find that part from a used machine
if you hit that edge several times with the paint, many coats, it might not matter so much but I understand having it original
that plywood edge just sucks the paint up like a sponge so maybe hit it with a coat of polyurethane or equivalent to give the silver paint a nice smooth surface so you wont have so many coats of the silver if I'm making sense

put an ad in the wanted section and state that you are still looking for the part no matter how old the ad is good luck
 
I wonder if there's some kind of plastic trim that's about the same shape which you can paint silver? Hardly ideal, but better than nothing.

Also campers often have all kinds of oddball metal trim too, you might check with a place that repairs them, they could actually have what you need on hand or at least be able to point you in the right direction. The same also goes with places that might commercial cabinets, counters and such, that trim looks a lot like something you'd see on the edge of a fast food place's counter.

I recently had to find a metal trim to wrap the pedal base of a super off road. Here is a link for what I used, only thing is it has holes for screws every foot or so. There are several sizes from this line. It was very easy to bend and work with. Look at the bottom of the webpage for related items or look up the company for the different sizes. My pedal base came out great with that trim. Best thing I was able to find.
