it looks to be a simple "O" ring, if I still had my hydraulic ram seal repair kit I could make one.
Chop out a section and superglue the ends? I did that a couple of times in the 80s to run the water pumps on 3 cylinder diesel engines that needed to be started and tested after a rebuild. I'm sure it was just a glorified O ring that I cut and shut...
