The black one would work, but as you stated, the hole is much larger.  You could make your own.  It basically is there to keep dust out of the joystick and make the hole look cleaner.

Best,

You mean the large rectangular plastic piece from the picture I posted? That was a Punch-Out joystick, which is used with a metal control panel. I'm not so sure that Donkey Kong (wooden control panel) ever had that piece in the first place. From the parts drawing that DeLuSioNal29 posted, it doesn't appear so. Someone here who has an original DK machine could say for sure.

yeah I am looking for what I guess is part 23-14 in this schematic, it's like a little black guard that goes under the control panel.  I attached the full schematic, see below.  I believe it's called a black Joystiq disc.  It's the only part I am missing.

I'm not sure what the function of that part is. The manual calls it a "blind plate", whatever that it. It looks like a washer of some sort. Anyway, according to the schematic, it doesn't go under the control panel, but rather, between the top of the control panel and the plexi control panel overlay. I would assume it is just an extra dust washer, which can move freely because of the recess created by the thickness of the metal of the mounting plate (01-39).

It is obviously completely unnecessary for the joystick to function. In fact, if it is a dust washer (I don't see what else it could be), it is also redundant, given that there is already the larger clear dust washer that sits on top of the control panel and overlay.

I don't know where you would get a Nintendo one, but I would think that a black plastic dust washer from pretty much any joystick would work.
dirt:
every dk i have either had or seen only has one of the dustwashers or no dustwasher. i have never seen any dk that had both. since you have the top one i dont see why you would need or want the botton one.
