They both are. 603346 is a solid sheet of rubber-like material that
actually closes off the hole; while 601962 is a metal plate that holds
603346 in place. As I recall the plate is not solid but has a hole in it,
making it more of a funny shaped ring. BTW, the SPC description for 601962
is "Plate, retaining sealing pad", while 603346 is described as "Pad,
sealing, steering column aperture".

I'd suggest looking for it used with any of the various people that part out
sidescreen cars. Start watching eBay, I'll bet there's one listed within a
few days.

I believe those are original.

Not that I know of.
