I doubt the ducting is the cause of the fumes in the cab. It's designed to carry the hot air from the heat exchangers into the cab. The fumes are probably coming from rusted heat exchangers. Replacing the ducting will make it worse as the new piece with probably do a better job of containing the fumes and getting them into the cab.
But as oldie suggested any 63mm heat resistance ducting will do the job.
