you need the leather to replace the autostrop leather? There is/ was a vendor that sold this. But....of course, I cannot recall who it is. Sorry, I am not a bit of help.
Easiest thing to do, is to take the razor to a place that sells leather, or otherwise has leather scraps (a tannery, perhaps a shoe repair shop), and see what thickness of leather fits best between the stop rollers in the head. I would imagine the strop should fit snug, but still be able to freely move.
I had a nearly NOS Valet that I sold, and it's strop was quite thin. Probably about 1/3 the thickness of a regular strop.

I have an extra strop, it probably needs a good cleaning / dressing.
PM if interested, I'm thinking of trying out an Auto Strop razor myself, maybe we can compare notes.
