Why not contact a John Bean Pump rep? They are still made. Based on the numbers you posted, it is not that old. My brother worked at a pump company for several years, and as late as the 1990s, they were able to provide parts for Bean pumps from at least as early as the 1930s, that I know of. And it hardly looked any different than the ones sold now. I bet if you called one of the Bean reps, they could help you.

Here is a rep locator:

If I was going to suggest the current analog to what you have, it would be the DM-10, which are engine-driven. I suppose the DM stands for "Driven Magic", meaning it is a version of the Magic pump that is engine-driven. Just speculation, of course. See the current DM lineup here:

If that DM list is any guide, you would use an 8HP engine on your pump.
