I recently had to find some "grain-of-rice" lamps to replace those burned
out in the illumination side of an HP 2748B optical paper tape reader.
These guys,

had an exact replacement. My requirement was to find an exact physical
match because the bulbs have to fit down inside a machined well that
lines up with the holes in the tape. They have plenty of datasheets
with both mechanical and electrical specs for all their bulbs. I am a
happy customer.
