Axle shaft/CV joint bearing issues

Upon stripdown of the front left differential/axle housing I found the axle/CV joint bearing to be worn and decided to replace it. I've tried obtaining a replacement however all the suppliers I've tried are out of stock. Does anyone know of a supplier, UK based or worldwide, where I can obtain a new one, or even just a part number, as I'm hitting dead ends everywhere I look?

I should point out mine is a 1986 model SJ410. Thanks.

I've noticed that under a separate forum heading 'CV axle info' a SJ410 CV should have 19 teeth, whereas the axle shaft on mine has 20. (I've treble checked it just to ensure it isn't eyeball trouble). Is it possible my shaft might be from another vehicle? Any help on resolving this would be highly appreciated as it's holding up the chassis restoration now. Thanks.
