I don't want to part out a decent functional derailleur just to make this one whole.... yet. TIA.

I believe that, with the exception of the holes for the spring not being present, the matching part from a Criterium/Delrin RD is the same- you may have an easier time finding one of those to cannibalize and carefully drill the holes in it.
