Replacing a Commercial Door Meeting Stile

I've been trying to make my church more energy efficient, and have run into an issue replacing the door meeting stile between a set of double doors: basically, I don't know where to get the replacement part.
This is from a set of double doors, probably 30 years old. These doors lead outside, and there's obvious light shining between the doors when closed.
The meeting stile piece fits into a groove in the door, and is about .5" wide. There is about a .2" gap between the doors, though it's difficult to measure this properly.

The other way is your going to need to fabricate a piece.
There are stick-on versions like this though - https://www.amazon.com/Prime-Line-Products-8754-Self-Adhesive-Weatherstrip/dp/B01D636N08/ which should work. Pull the backing, lay it on the groove then use a flat blade screwdriver to push it down in the gap.

which at least looks right. Any comments?
Looks like the channel is shaped the wrong way there. I'd expect the top of it to flare out to mate up with the door, not curve back in.
