Page 17 of my old Schilke mouthpiece handbook says on page 17:
"Fluegelhorn Mouthpieces...
These mouthpieces can be made up in any of our standard rims...
Fluegelhorn mouthpiece receivers differ greatly as to dimensions of mouthpieces stem required. Therefore, FLUEGELHORN MOUTHPIECES MUST BE CUSTOM-BUILT TO ORDER."
[emphasis in original]

That leads me to believe that there is no such thing as a Schilke stock flugel mouthpiece.
Which is why your mouthpiece is not mentioned in any listing of stock Schilke mouthpieces.
Your Schilke flugel mouthpiece by definition must be a custom one.
