It's from a Ford Sierra, might be easier looking at Ford stuff.
If my memory serves me correctly I think someone has used Landrover Discovery gaiters with some success.

I think the MGB gaiter also fits the gearlever. Not sure, so buy from somewhere you can return it.
Other than that, it is a fairly simple round shape, so something like ancient Landrover or 1960/70s Mini ought to fit
I agree that the handbrake is Ford, Sierra or Granada.

If it's the Sierra item then they are obsolete. You may find a NOS item or s/h on ebay but they are rare.

I am unfamiliar with the Chim/Grief linkage set up so the following may or may not apply;

Used the same gaiter for both the Wedge (LT77 gearbox) and the S (Type 9 gearbox) Slight difference in the two to deal with the linkages used but the principle the same.

Here's one I found on Ebay - but hold your existing one against the pictures before you buy. I think this is what i bought, but I did have to cut it a bit to make it fit IIRC )it as 4 years ago)
