I have to make a few interior doors with divided lights, including a pair of arched French doors, which should be a great project. I'd like match the existing door details as much as possible. Those doors have a mullion profile I've never seen before:

All the window sash bits I've seen have a bead at the top and cove at the bottom, near the glass. This profile is the opposite, a cove at the top and a bead where it meets the glass. I could make the required profile by using a combination of router bits, but then I'm left with how to cope the ends where the mullions and muntins intersect. It would just be a lot easier if I could find a bit that has the correct, or at least directionally correct, profile. Does anyone know anyone makes such a bit? I know I can get a set custom ground but that won't come cheap.
I don't have a shaper, so it has to be a router bit(s).
Thanks,
John
