No idea of the OEM. May well be a foundry nearby the plant that built your boat,
However, I venture that the clear plate is polycarbonate which can be had from local plastics shops. It can be cut with standard woodworking tools with some care.
Or they can cut it for you.
Drilling, it can be grabby so clamp it down . When drilling a soapy water solution will do a good job.

It looks like a San Juan Strainer. I think they were made by San Juan Engineering in Washington state. Not sure if they are still in production.

It is a Buck Algonquin strainer. Still available and quite common on the Taiwan trawlers. You can find the better domed lids for them that replaced the flat plexiglass.
Any plexiglass or glass place can cut you new pieces too. New gaskets are easy to make. Good strainers.
