From what I've been advised on this site and having read others comments both Trumpeter and Hasegawa bubbletop canopies in their 1/32 scale P47D Thunderbolt kits are not accurate.

Has or is any aftermarket company considering offering a replacement canopy for both kits?

Trumpeter screwed it; Hasegawa's is very, very close.

ThevHasegawa front frame is like 30% undersized with the forward frames to closely spaced.
Both are wrong...at least Trump one has the right spacing but wrong framework.

Do you know what 30% is?

I have to wonder because there is no way Hasegawa's canopy is 30% undersized in any way.

You need a new pair of glasses.

No, any P-47 Vac canopies

Since no modern vac canopies are available for the P-47 bubble what about the "old" Revell one ?
Good Luck.
