What is this fox fork front axle part called and where can I find a replacement?

Question

I've got a fox 36 talas RC2 from year 2006 and it's missing one of those black threaded inserts that pinches the front axle :

the part is M5 threaded, and approx. 28mm x 8.05mm
How is this called and where can I find a replacement? Is there an archive of parts numbers like for cars somewhere? I've only managed to find year 2015+ square pinch inserts so far like this one :

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your answers. Local fox service shop told me the reference is 229-19-030 and they call it "cross-pin axle", as can be seen on this dealer :

I was also able to find nuts with 8mm OD that could fit on a well known marketplace

Fox says to apply very little torque on that part and that it is just to prevent the axle from going loose so it should be fine.

The one you have pictured is called a "pinch bar" or an "axle pinch bar"

I was unable to find a vendor who sells a 2006 version like yours. The one on your fork appears to be rounded. The newer ones appear to be square - like the last picture in your post. Here is a link to a vendor with a 2015 version (not a recommendation).
Here is a link to a 2005 manual for your fork. Sadly it does not list the pinch bolt anywhere but it has other information that may help.
