Looking for a replacement spline for my cabinets

Question

We are having our kitchen cabinets painted white and need to replace the spline that holds in the glass on 4 of the cabinet doors. Unfortunately we don't have a physical sample anymore but I have these pictures.
Any idea on where we can buy these? There are a lot of options and most of them say they are for aluminum windows, but this goes into a groove in a wooden cabinet door.

There are dozens and dozens (hundreds? thousands?) of types and shapes of "spline" material.
I recommend that you do NOT go on a "goose chase" for an exact duplicate of what was installed previously. Instead, I recommend that you take a door and glass pane with you to a local window/door/glass shop and find any alternative that will adequately secure the glass. There are even newer foam strip materials that conform to a variety of channel sizes and shapes. You could even consider "non-spline" alternatives like nailed wood strips or plastic clips.

it does not matter what the labeled use of the spline is, as long as it securely holds the pane
