michael,

i assume the pin that holds the lever cap lever is driven in, and could be
cut/drilled out.  a lever from a similar (though of course not as wide,
though perhaps) extra lever cap you might have lying around could be placed
and a new pin driven in.  that way you keep the original cap, and have an
original stanley lever.  that, or replace the entire thing with the cap
from a 6 or 7, which are the same width (unknown about their length).  i
think i have a spare if you test it and find one does work, and you want to
go that way.

and, of course, if you'd like the golf ball, i do believe it is kicking
around my shop.  i replaced the handle with a low knob that fit from a
busted number 6 (hence the extra lever cap i believe i still have).

nice find.  i do like that corrugated.
