A quick plunk of the IF transformer into Google yields 3 of them at Play Things of past...

1461-663  MERIT BC-372   262 KC IF OUTPUT, 5WIRE,1 1/8   1  10.00
1479-074  MERIT BC-372   262KC OUT, W/FIL,1 1/8",6WIRE   1  10.00
1505-855  MERIT BC-372   262KC OUT, W/FIL, 1 1/8,6WIRE   1  10.00

IMHO they will probably be NOS

The Sams should have images of the chassis. What appears missing other than the IF transformer? Possibly a couplate? If so that can be made up with separate parts.

262 IF are generally found in auto radios.

This may be a "plain vanilla" if, no taps or gimmick caps. Scan and post the circuits for all of us to labor over

Yeppers, Merit BC-372 is 112-H6 Miller

Can I use a 455kc at 13 ohms(I think I could come up with that from the garage)

Nope, it's not the ohms at all, it is the resonance...
