I know this is a pretty discouraging situation for you, but I think maybe posting a few pictures of this failure might be interesting to some folks here who have not seen something like this nor had to face the not so fun part of rebuilding a banjo rear.

Here's a source that advertises repro ring and pinion gears for '32-'34 Fords in the V-8 Times Magazine. Some of these ratios offered have 10 spline pinions that would most likely drop right in your stock rear axle.
