To make it as a one piece part with split moulding would be extremely difficult IMO. You could make the mould but then the pull area would be a very thin area to try an lay up into - even as wet lay, let alone trying to get a bagging stack for more advanced processes. I think I'm following. So to be clear I should make a top piece, a 2nd bottom piece, and then bond the two together?

So basically, the outer is the part that you see in those pictures. Flange around the outside and block off the hole in the middle with wax so you don't have any undercuts. Make your mould of that side and allow to cure. Then flip it over, remove your temporary flange materials (remembering to put release agent on the new fibreglass flanges!) and the excess wax from the underside of the pull area, and then remould that side.The tricky bit will be in navigating the mounting on the reverse side, as I assume it clips in rather than bolts in? You may want to pull them off and have a look at the inside. Post pictures of it here if you need a hand deciding where to go from there.
