As to a slip-on cap, what I've done for one of my odd size lenses
for an odd camera was an old camcorder cap, about the size of the
target lens, and I padded it inside with adhesive tape to make
it fit.  So any thing just big enough, you can probably make it
work.  I used to have binocular lens caps.  I'd imagine they
are about the right size.  Visit a pawn shop.  The one near me has
a whole basket of miscellaneous caps for all sort of things, mostly
camera related I think, perhaps droppings from the junk they took
in, and they let them go for pennies.
