If you just need the glass, those all fit the same.   Replacements with gaskets are available as are internal filters, both the mineral and cartridge type.

If you need the whole assembly, not to disappoint but the 3 way AC for A/C, as shown, if that is what you're looking for, is a very rare item, hard to obtain, and will command a premium.   The top port goes back to the gas tank return.

These may help.   The 3 port filter is for A/C cars, not necessarily 3x2.
That's a GF-97 filter assy(rare).   Filters are GF-99 for the three port w./vent.   
You can use the 2 port GF48, if you don't have vapor or delivery issues.
NAPA has filters and bowls online, but I didn't cross check the GF99 element avail, they have two showing.
You just need to find the right size bowl per the attachments under types of bails.
The repro(2port) start ~$30+ at classicchevy.
Ebay has a bunch of glasses and filters.   Glasses ~$10 & +.   You'd probably have buy a 2 port and use the glass.

Johnny-

I have a 3 port (for a/c) assembly for a ‘61; not sure if it’s the same part, but parts book should answer that.

The parts book through 1964 shows the same unit (5650786) as being the correct part for 59-62 a/c cars, so what I have should be the right part.
