i found an ex-trailer chummy swb rear axle a few years ago for £120, but that was just the cases with knackered halfshafts and no diff/CWP. i had a useable '32 long-nose banjo up for sale at 2015 Beaulieu for (if memory serves me right) £250 & it was unsold.
Hans Compter has several A7 rear axles from different years for sale on prewarcar.com from €250, i bought a '29 screw-in-tube one from him a few years ago for that price and spent something like £280 on parts to rebuild it (i lathed down some old lwb halfshafts to give new tapers and lapped them onto the hubs, and fitted a NOS CWP) but that took a fair amount of time in the shed.
If you go to town & splash out on a new CWP (440), pair of new long-taper halfshafts (450) and hubs (224), and a complete set of new bearings (200ish) that's £1300ish on nice shiny (hopefully unburstable) axle components
