The best way to get a proper bearing is to measure it and then match it to a new one of correct size. I think you find the bearing but the mounting may well be different and require a modification to replace an original style. I'm referring to the older types that mounted to a triangular plate unlike the modern "U" shaped style strap shown in the link above.

If all else fails you can have the midship stub replaced with a current one of correct tube size. A job for a driveline shop but one I've done many times and not difficult for them.
