Re: 6v pilot lamp

Trying to locate replacement bulbs for an old Wards / Airline transistor
radio, they are 6.3V but only 20mA rated. Higher rated current lamps are
out there, but in this design they dim the bulb when you tune a station,
so looks like they must be that rating, which also saves battery power.
 
I thought an 1175 lamp would do but the current is wrong. It has to be a
T5 screw type socket. Could not locate a bulb number for it...any ideas?
 
This is a pic.  https://ibb.co/Bzxt7mb
 
The front bulb is what came out of the radio 6.3v 20mA. The back one is
a type 47, 6-8v 100mA way to big.

Closest thing I could find.

Lamp # 342
6V AC/6V DC 0.2W 0.04A T1 3/4 blub
