That looks like the tube has been formed into that shape (with probably an extra bit added to make the flat outside face) rather than it being a cast ‘top eye’ piece.
It also looks like the stay is quite rusty in near the seattube.
If I was repairing it I’d use a cast ‘top eye’. It may or may not be possible to get one that’s a good match for the other side. Viability of the repair would depend on how rusty the stay is, to fit the top eye you’d be cutting the stay back a bit so if it’s only the very end that’s rusty it might work ok.
For one side I’d charge about £50, or something like £75-80 I f you wanted both sides doing so they matched.
It’d need painted after that. I could rattle can or just lacquer it for you but wouldn’t take on a full frame repaint.
You’d also have to ship the frame to me and back.
