I removed 2 of the Bearing Caps.
Don't know if I shot myself in the for or not.
None of the Ford U-joints are a direct fit. The Bearing Caps are 24mm (about 0.947) and the Ford U-joint Bearing caps are 1.06 (about 26.93mm).
I could see a shop using them because they could ream out the bore and since they would be doing the rebalance removing the metal would not matter.

I did find that there is a BMW U-joint that has 24mm Bearing Caps but cannot find the OD/how wide the U-joint is. And it is available; made by Meyle.
NAPA has dimensions on many of their U-jonts but not all of them.

If NAPA has one in stock that I can measure I will know for sure.
