Thanks for posting. The channel balances appear to be either our S380-30 or S385-30, the only difference between these two kinds of balances being the depth of the bottom nylon shoe, or the 'heel-to-toe' measurement. The Series 385 has a shoe depth of 1-3/32". If your balance's shoes has a depth at all greater than 1", then the Series 385 is almost certainly what you need. Just double-check this measurement to be sure. In all cases, a stamp code of 29-5 means you'll need to pick a stamp option of 2950 for these balances.

For the Top Sash Guide, see if the 18-188 matches up.
