I've got the same style of awning in the 260 version.
Never heard of a metal pole replacement, but then never looked, so no surprise there! That's quite a curve and a relatively short length for a metal pole, so not sure about potential viability of a metal pole!
The fibreglass poles are nothing special, absolutely stock type poles, with maybe the overall length being peculiar to your particular awning, easy to take a stock oversized pole and cut to appropriate length with a fine toothed saw. On mine, the pole dia is 11mm, expect yours would be the same, but worth a check. You don't necessarily have to buy the entire pole run, you can buy individual sections to replace just a single damaged section. Maybe bit of an art to threading the shock cord through to reassemble, and a number of ways of doing it, but threading tools available to ease the task.
The go to place for poles is Tentspares! https://www.tentspares.co.uk They have a reputation for being very helpful if you contact them.
Other sources available but 'everyone' points you to Tentspares as a good reliable source.
A single length of 11mm dia pole here: https://www.tentspares.co.uk/universal-11mm-fibreglass-pole-section-with-ferrule/ Think you may need to measure yours and ask Tentspares how long their spare is to ensure it's long enough, or oversize to be cut down.
