I'm loving my Conn 3B in my good'ole 62h but I need to have a similar piece for my Edwards bass. Any suggestions?

The Connstellation 3B is a fine mouthpiece - matches those old Conn basses very well.

... Rim I.D. ~27.1mm; Throat 7.49mm, rather deep V-shaped Cup.

Not the same as (but could possibly substitute) Schilke 58 or perhaps a larger Yamaha 58L (they aren't all the same.)

With a Doug Elliott setup, I'd probably start with

... J8 Shank, MB J Cup, MB 108 Rim. (Or perhaps K8 / MB K - Doug may have a better suggestion.)

Good luck!
