Does anyone have experience or recommendations regarding bolection moulding? Below is the panel moulding profile I’d like to use but not sure where to go to get the tooling for the shaper/moulder and if there is a special setup the machine. The size is 2 3/8″ wide x 3/4″ deep. It is often called panel moulding with a rabbet, which I’d like to use to do a simplified wainscoting.

I do not know how much molding you need, but for limited runs (enough for a cabinet for example), you could consider a stacked molding. Dissect the profile into its component units, make those separately, then glue them up. It looks like you have two fillets from square stock but different thicknesses, a cove profile, and a modified ovolo or ogee. Not sure how the bottom part of the profile ends. You can do the glue up roughly (get the real profile right), then trim to width to get a good back edge.
That looks like a pretty stock pattern. Have you checked the nearby yards to see if they have it and if it's available in the species you need?
Use some scrap to keep the molding sitting on your saw bed at the same angle as it will sit over the rails/stiles and panels of the wainscoting.
