Whirlpool 27" DD top deck and lid

[DADoES]

 
I need a model number (or top and lid part numbers) of any 27" Whirlpool or Maytag direct-drive washer toward the end of production, on which the console mounts with screws at the back corners, for which a replacement top and lid are available.  Preferably with a bleach dispenser funnel at the right front.

GSQ9669LW1.  Wide lid.  I picked up the machine (and matching dryer) 4 years ago from a college student moving out.  Has been in my garage for the duration.  The top (which is not porcelain) is rusted badly around the cut-out for the bleach dispenser.  I'd replace the top but it's NLA.  I figure another 27" direct-drive top would retrofit but I'm not not finding anything available to support mounting the console with rear-corner screws.

I took the cabinet, top, and lid by a local auto-body shop for a quote.  $786, so no.  The cabinet and lid have a few rust spots but aren't as bad as the top so I could clean and spray-can them, although my painting skills are amateur. Apparently the only recourse is try to do the top as well.  I haven't checked back with the shop for a quote on just the top but I imagine it'd be prohibitive.
