I think both Performance Friction (I think that's the name--it's close)
and Hawk make pads for early girlings, and I don't think you can find
better material. I'm away from my reference junk (in Maui) but I think you
want 93. If they don't have what you need you can have a local reliner put
just about any material you want on your old pads.
I recently attended a seminar that included some really good information
on brake pads and shoes. I'll try to find my notes and summarize.

Subject: TR3 Brake Pads and Calipers
I've been running stock disk brake pads on my TR3A racecar, since they
seem to be the only ones available off-the-shelf for early calipers. I
was dismayed to discover the last set lasted less than 3 days on the
track. I'm wondering what other TR3 racers are using for pads and
whether you run later calipers. What modifications are required to
switch to later calipers? I'll post all responses back to the list.
