I think I have got it working! Thanks to @Nico for letting me know the name of the seal. After much careful measuring I determined that the seal I needed was a 210 Quad seal (3/4'' ID X 1'' OD X 1/8'' Cross Section). I installed it, applied grease, and it did hold air overnight. Longer term...

The handlebar is a Ritchey "Comp Corralitos" in 50mm width. The shallow drop and slight flare are very comfortable. I have a 36t chainring and the cassette is 11-48. There are some very steep hills in the area and this gives me a good amount of range.
