From Shure - "Will needle 44-7 fit the M55E cartridge? The N44-7 will fit the M55E body. The tracking force is determined by the stylus, not by the cartridge body. The N44-7 stylus tracks at 1.5 to 3 grams"

The M44 and M55 bodies are identical bar the colour or logo on the front. The generator assembly is actually identical to a V15 MkI, though that was in a metal rather than plastic body.

Shure N44-7 styli in the Shure M55E
Should be no problem Jico only list 35/44 SAS/B for M35X / M44GX
Jico have 100s of items not listed on the website

The M44-7X and M44GX are/were actually members of the Shure 35 Series family. When the real M44-7 and M44G cartridges in 1998, the x versions were discontinued.
We conducted research in 1999, and felt that the M44-7X was a valid cartridge. We made some minor tweaks, then re-introduced it in the proper family, as the M35X. The M44GX featured a lighter tracking force of .75-1.5g. The N35X features a 1.5-3.0 gram tracking force.
