A lot of parts do not have numbers. If your units have bare chambers with
threads the fit is to install the spring and cap from the old unit in the
replacement part and this procedure can make one basic part fit multiple
applications. The vacuum advance curve for this type unit is easily
calibrated also.

Autolite and Ford used this type unit.

An auto electric house with an historical libray that you could reference
would be a good place to find. The books you are looking for are stocking
guides or illustrated parts guides or unit parts guides and Echlin and
Standard Ignition back about 1960 +or -  is where you need to be although
International trucks had adjustable vacuum controls up through 1980. Unit
parts guide shows part numbers breakdowns for distributors,  generators etc.
This is a time involving process.
