Need help ID'ing balances and shoes

I need to replace two, 25" and two, 22" balances and the corresponding shoes.
I've looked at your various parts, but I can't figure out which ones to get.
The balances appear to be 3/8" diameter.
Attached are photos.
Can you ID which parts I need?
Thank you very much.

Hey there!
I recommend the Series 900 if the outer tube measures 3/8" in diameter. I can't identify the pivot shoe just yet though. Can you confirm the thickness and width of the pivot shoe? It can be hard to get accurate dimensions from photos of a tape measure.

Sorry for the delay. Here are clear pictures showing the dimensions of the shoes:
2" tall
1-1/8" wide
1/2" thick
2" tall
1-1/8" wide
1/2" thick

Thanks for getting back to us. Your pivot shoe looks like the old Silverline shoe which has been replaced with the 15-046. Take a look at the specifications and see what you think.
As for the balance, you may want to double-check the outer tube diameter to be safe. I noticed you have a red nylon bearing and that usually correlates with the 5/8" diameter Series 600.
