For systems of that era, it's best if you can find IBM branded or compatibles that match the IBM part numbers. Now there are two part numbers, the factory original, and the FRU 'Field Replacement Unit' part number (sometimes also called CRU 'Customer Replacement Unit'). These part numbers are generally different than the original even though they are the same part. But because they were typically available in the retail market, they were more readily available. Once you have that number, it might be easier to find the memory you need.
Using the original part number I was able to get to this page which may help you with installation once you find the memory, and this company may even be able to get the memory you need even if they don't list it anymore:
I also forgot about this company that actually still shows modules available that may work:
