If owen_dyneto does not see your question and have an answer you might send him a PM. He has recommended a Napa commercial battery several times for various cars of that era but I don't remember the number. I believe he has one in his 34 but then his car is not a twelve. I did not check all the specs so no idea if there is a significant current requirement difference that the twelve would need a larger battery. If there would be a CCA capacity issue that could be a consideration.

One thing many do agree on is the period reproductions or so called boutique batteries with cases styled to look like the originals are frequently not all that great a battery. Not only are they quite expensive but some have a lower CCA capacity than original requirements and several have found they have a much shorter useful life.
