Today I did some serious digging into the part numbers for the replacement ball kits for these PS boxes
I went to my local Ford dealership where they still have a Micro-Fiche scanner. I was able to find this number and suffixes for the Saginaw PS box.
It only listed for fixed ratio boxes with 22 balls. Variable ratio has 24.
The Ford part number is C5AZ-3647 with suffixes C @.28125 dia. D @ .28133, E @ .28141, F @ .28149 and G @ .28157.
I then Googled this part number and found www.rearcounter.com On there I was able to find most of the sizes listed. However, the listing also shows 3647-X. No idea what X means. On E-Bay it also list the 3647-X but no other info. I have sent pricing request to Mc.Donald Obsolete Parts as well as Dennis Carpenter.
So folks, it may be possible to purchase these illusive parts. Now I'm wondering what other replacement parts are available for these boxes. Maybe I'll do some more digging and see what I come up with.

EDIT UPDATE: McDonald Obsolete Parts replied in minutes. They have sizes E & F available for $25.00 a set +shipping.
I'll update when I have more info.
