I'd be wicked surprised if there's a big enough supply of NOS anything for your tractor for NAPA to be listing it. Can't say it's not so, but it'd be unusual.
The prices yo're getting sound high. I just looked at some receipts for the same seals I bought for my BN back in '02 and, even from CaseIH, they ranged from $13.25 to $15.50. I shouldn't expect that they had doubled in price since then.
If you can get the seals out without prangin' 'em up too bad, a good counterman, or one with a shop out back, can measure them up and look up the replacements. Better would be to take the IH part numbers and have them cross them.
First thing I do on a dirty tractor that needs a lot of work is clean up the outside. Pressure wash, degrease, hot pressure washer if needed. Just makes for a cleaner, better job.
As far as the inside of the tranny, how did it drain? Did you find a lot of dry caked sludge at the drain hole? In any event, it never hurts to clean it out. You can pull the cover and shifter and have a look around. It's tight and awkward in there, but you can to some scraping and swabbing of sludge with kerosene or diesel. If you don't have it apart yet, mix some gear oil about 1/3 with 2/3 diesel or kerosene, and take the tractor for a half-hour drive to sling and swirl things up all you can and redrain before refilling with good oil. If you're already apart, it might be a better idea to do this after you're done with the seal work anyway as you may get more crud in there in from cleaning up around the bearing cages on the diff shafts and you might just as well flush that out along with the rest and get it all at once.
As far as any cake and grime from oil seeping outside the tranny or final drive, a scraper will get most of it. The rest can be cleaned up with a stiff parts brush and some kerosene.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
