If you have the original pre-war axle, the current FAG number is N307E.TVP2: 35x80x21. It should be available in other brands, which I think would also carry the N307 designation. The rest of the number specifies the type of cage.
If by chance, you have the post-war version axle without the full separate enclosure for the pinion, what they used to call the RMN 35 is the same bearing with a thicker outer race, which was proprietary for this application, and not available as far as I know. Your options are to buy the standard bearing and reuse the outer race if it looks OK, or to machine a carrier ring and press the standard outer ring into it. It works, I've done it.
