Welcome to the forum, Trevor! Add your first name to your profile to clear the N/a in the side panel and add your location to your profile, as well

How close does it have to be? Are you replacing all of the molding or just pieces? If you're replacing all of it then just get as close as you can and call it good. But if you're looking for an exact match then that's going to be difficult with a router. Not impossible, but difficult...

Try looking here..https://www.vintagewoodworks.com/index.html

I didn't make an exhaustive search, but they are likely to have it or something very close.

It's a pretty big molding. I would try making a cove by doing a diagonal on a table saw. Then finish the rounded edges with a bit.
