Ken,
One thing Ford did very well is: they designed an excellent significant part numbering system. Looking at your page 52 (my page 220) the part number 4001508 looked like it was unique to model 40 (that's us). So I looked it up in the text volume of my parts books and found the complete P/N is: B5S 4001508-D. Its application is for '55-'57 Thunderbirds ONLY.
I have no idea if the Merc part is close enough for reasonable re-work or not. I can tell you '57-'58 passenger cars have a different p/n, '59 cars another p/n, '58 and later Birds have still another number. Suggest shopping your sources for the right part(s). It appears that this same part is used regardless of transmission type. Other parts shown on that page may very well have broad application across many years and models. OOps! cancel that last sentence. I just looked at 7519 & 7507 to do a sample application check; their part numbers are unique to the Bird also.
Bidding on that Merc part probably wouldn't be one of your wiser investments.
Tom
