1996 E-Superduty was available with Hydroboost, it had 1 5/16 Bore Master.
They are rather rare though and parts listings are wrong since they usually list the F450 88-97 booster. The one I have come across in the yard had hoses that were repaired with Gates "Flareless" repair kit, thus probably due to unobtainable replacements.
There is a slight difference in the bolt pattern at the firewall between 1992-1996 and 1997+ models.
The Ford 1 5/16" MC's used with hydroboost all appear to have a 3.4" bolt spacing.
Typical Ford MC bolt spacing is 3.2"
You may be able to get just the reservoir with the second inlet.
Also on the 1997+ E-series that I have seen with hydroboost, the return lines had a Tee-fitting in lieu of a second reservoir inlet.
Some of the Tempos and possibly Escorts had a CII pump with a remote reservoir housing.
My van is a 1996 E250 and I converted it to 4x4 about 4 years ago with 1999 F350 Superduty Axles(Dana 50 and 10.5)
Originally I made some parts to run the proper Master cylinder(1 3/8" Bore with 3.2" Bolt spacing) for that truck application with the van's original Vacuum booster.
About 3 years ago I got a hydroboost from a 1999-2004 Superduty and made a custom bracket and approx 1" spacer to run the hydroboost in anticipation of running a diesel engine. The spacer was made so that I could machine it down to make the pedal height correct without cutting the pedal rod on the booster. For the PS pump, mine had a Saginaw pump with integral reservoir. I replaced it with a remote reservoir unit.
Originally I thought I'd be able to use some OE hoses, but this just wasn't going to work and turned out to be a waste of money.
I think the long and short of it is you will have to do some custom fabbing
