1951 merc 3-speed overdrive wear

Finishing up a rebuild of a 51 merc 3-speed overdrive trans that will be going into a '52 Ford F-1. Gears are all good with no chips. Replaced all the seals and gaskets. Now I noticed some wear on what is the low/reverse fork. See the attached pics.

The wear difference is about 0.045" (0.245" to 0.200"). Is this still usable? Tried VanPelt Sales, but no NOS. Anybody have a discombubulated '51 ford or merc 3-speed trans that has a low/reverse fork in better shape than this?
