I can state from experience that a Yamaha euphonium bell will fit in the bottom bow of a Besson euphonium. They are nearly identical in dimensions.
If you're looking for a DETACHABLE upright bell (to pair with your recording bell) I have at least two Besson recording bell sections (NOT complete instruments) that I'd be glad to sell for $25 each + shipping. You could use one of these bells to glean the proper male connector to solder on to your (wherever-you-might-find-it) upright bell (Yamaha, Weril, Jupiter, Boosey, Boosey-Hawkes, Blessing, etc.). A Blessing euphonium bell might be the most $$$ accessable (guessing here), though these are in limited production.
