Yes, the PN 32-31-1-158-835 are the BMW bearings.

No, on the knowledge of will-fit replacements.

However it would be great if you would disassemble yours and mic out the measurements and then determine which bearings fit or are close to a drop-in replacement.

Give Woodward a call or email them and they will make it for you. That's what I did back in 2019. Here is what I sent them along with their response

Hi.

I have a Backdraft Cobra and I am doing a steering upgrade. Another owner did the same upgrade and he said I need a Ujoint PN UA116109 3/4" Double-D and 14mm-34 spline. He said he got it from you. Is it available? I see a UA116110 but no 109 on your page. Thanks

Here is the email I received from them.

From: Alyssa N <sales.woodwardsteering@gmail.com>
We can combine any two ends we manufacture to make a u-joint, so yes, that is a u-joint we can supply. Please provide shipping address, phone number and payment information.

Fred
