Need Winchester or Hodgson lids, HELP!

I have had all my reserve powder in my shop and in a cabinet for close to 20 years now.
Today I discovered the strangest thing.
Six 1 lb bottles on one shelf had a bunch of brown powder rust on the metal lids and enough to eat thru the edges.
All bottles are still sealed with the factory foam seal and all is still in powder form.
There was some IMR4895 in an aftermarket container that is now a brick.
I'm guessing it released something that affected those lids.
All the other bottles on other shelves are fine.
I've since removed everything but am in need of about 8 lids.
Anybody have any empties or lids?
I'd gladly pay postage.
I checked one bottle under the seal.
Powder is fine.
Thanks guys
